hello I have a 2002 ford explorer 4.0 xlt 4x4 I just replaced both my back wheel bearings in dec and I believe I have to replace my driver side again do the rear bearings not last that long or is there something i':m missing ???

What were the symptoms the first time and what's it doing now?

A bearing should easily last 100,000 miles if properly installed and serviced as necesssary.

bob the first time I had the grinding from the rear wheel bearings this time my rear wheel wobbles when suv is jacked up im not 100 percent it wheel bearing again I have not looked at it yet was just seeing if there was something I missed the first time and they where put in the correct way with a press and watched veido on how to do it and followed the thread on the fourm here as well on how to do it

 

[BobRob]

While it "could" be a bad bearing, they usually make a lot of racket before the wheels start wobbling. I'll be interested to know what you find once it's apart.

Almost sounds like something didn't get bolted back down.

 

[BOBBY32]

I will let you know i"m going to look at it in a few

Is just the wheel wobbling or is the knuckle moving as well?

There are a variety of bearings out there. Some of the cheaper ones won't last 10k miles.

It looks like a bearing problem. I had a similar situation and the job by was done by dealership. Issues was related to the pressing in of the bearing. It needs to go in straight. If it goes incockeyed it'll wobble sooner or later. Any brand name will have this problem if not pressed in correctly. Sadly you'll need a new bearing.

hello xlt03 so far so good with the new bearing will see how long it last this time
