These are not your Daddy's bearings. Funny though I was looking for the same kind of thing when I took my rears apart....literally stood there and said to myself...WTF is this. No theres no "packing" the bearings on these puppies.......ah.....miss the good ol days.

Wow, what an unbelievable time you had, compared to mine. My hub assemblys came off so easy that i could turn the hub puller screw by hand to get them off. I did use my impact gun to remove them but they came off in seconds. I took both rear assemblys to a local long time reputable (50+ Years)...

Bearings are 100 dollar SKF...good quality not chinese. Like I said the condition has disappeared. I am taking it to a good friend who has his own automotive repair business and specializes in brakes and bearings on Friday to see what he thinks.

Life can be strange....Fords can be stranger.......is stranger (in this context) even a real word? Anyways I degress, I took both of the brake calipers off both wheels , lug nutted the rotor on so it wouldnt fly off and ran it in drive. The noise was still noticeable. I mean this isnt a loud...

I got the Explorer jacked in the air all 4 wheels off the ground and ran in it drive. Seems to be the new disc brake pads dragging on the rotor thats making the sound. It just gets somewhat loud at higher speeds. Ran it up to 120 KPH on the stands and nothing flew apart or was shaking like mad...

Yeah def something loose. Didn't have time to check before I had to depart for work (at work now). Will have a look tomorrow afternoon when i get up from working nightshift

Bearing were installed properly All nuts axle, lug, pinch were torqued to specs. E brake shoes were left on and not touched and pre install inspection showed nothing obvious. New disc brake pads were installed. Not e brake shoes. Didnt beat on anything.

Clunking noise after bearings and brakes done. Hi great thread. Just completed both rear wheel bearings (rear drivers was very bad) and replaced the brake pads. Had the hubs and bearing re and re'd by a local machine shop. When i completed the job and test drove it around my Townhouse complex...

As the explorer has been and still is one of the most popular SUV's on the market and has out sold many other SUV's hand over fist, there are alot of em out there. So it would make sense that there would be alot of complaints about them. Not saying they arent problematic, just very many of them...

Was the switch. Replace with one from salvage yard. Works as it should now. Thanks to all who replyed.,,,,:thumbsup:

thanks for the quick reply..will check both out.

Hi there, long time lurker finally posting. Have a problem with the power mirrors on my X. On both side i can only pan up and down. Will not pan in and out on either side. Any advise greatly appreciated.
