Hello Everyone.
I have a 02 Ford Explorer that I replaced both front wheel bearings roughy 3 years ago. Both were replaced with Timkens. I recently replaced my upper control arms due to bad ball joints and a few days after could hear howling when cruising around 40-50mph. When I turn right it gets noticeably louder and when I turn left it gets quieter. I can feel what feels like grinding in the steering when driving and coming to a stop, almost like bad brake pads but they are brand new. Everything I am reading points to the driver side front wheel bearing. Anyone else have Timkens go out within 30k of replacement? I am thinking of trying MOOG this time.
