Hello all. I am looking at some used 3rd generation Explorers and some 06's as well. As part of my research I read a lot about the wheel bearing issues that these vehicles have and some that have that problem multiple times. The Explorers I have in mine are under 120k miles. I know I can do the fronts myself, but I don't have a set up to do the rears. So my questions are:
1: How common is this issue?
2: Is it a forgone conclusion, that I'll be replacing bearings?
3: Do 4th generation Explorers have the same problem?
4: What is an average price for a shop to do rear bearings?
I know there are some other issues such as transmissions but I really don't want to be replacing bearings as frequent as it seems they need replacing. Thanks all in advance.
