- 96 Explorer XLT 5.0
Hi guys,
My apologies if this has been covered before, but I found nothing with the search function.
My 1998 Explorer XLT is making a growling noise while driving and I suspect that it is the front wheel bearings going bad. I know these vehicles have the bearings and front hub as one unit, but a search on NAPA's website brings up the individual bearings and races as well. My question is, is it a big job to remove the bearings from the hubs, or would they need to be pressed out? Thanks for any advice.
