Hi all
New memeber and new owner of a 2004 Explorer xlt 4WD. Recently arrived in Canada from the UK and thought it would be nice to have something big after years of driving smaller European cars.
Bought the Explorer in early Jan and now experiencing a wheel bearing hum from front drivers side when i turn left. Took it to shop this morning and they confirmed it is the wheel bearing. No evidence of wear they said but $450 to replace it.
To me it sounds like a dry bearing. Just wandering if anyone knows if you can re-grease the bearing or are they a sealed unit?
Any help gratefully recieved before i pay up.
Regards
Ian
