The cost for replacing both rear axle bearings was $964 and change!!!! By the way the entire rear brake system has been replaced on this vehicle as well ($690.00). Don't think I mentioned that this is a lease vehicle - Considering the new set of tires that I had to put on this vehicle at around 30,000 miles, I have about $2300.00 into it. No way I can afford to roll this over into a new lease in June - I've already spent my down payment for the new lease on repairs to this one!!! I have been leasing Ford products since 1983 - this is the first time this has happened - maybe I should have stuck with the Explorer!!!

Me too – I started to hear a loud rear end roar. Brought in to the dealer yesterday. Estimate of $600.00 to $700.00 to replace BOTH rear axle bearings. What’s up with this?! I’ve been driving Ford vehicles for over 35 years. I have NEVER had to replace a wheel bearing.
