  1. Hi Fellow Edger's

     

    Would anyone have any experience of a 2017 European model (not that it should make a difference on this issue) hub bearing failures ???

    Had car since new and has been great, not a single issue. Now at 45,000miles and a droning on a wheel.

    Pretty sure this is a hub bearing fault as noise increases with road speed, not engine RPM.

    I have checked the play in the wheel and nothing obvious, either in the 12-6 position or 3-9 position.

    No vibration on steering wheel when driving and brakes work fine / no squealing.


    So I have ordered a replacement hub and chosen a SKF unit for £110.
    Ford wanted nearly £300 a unit to supply only.

     

    Anyone any idea of the correct torque for this hub ?

    Also for the rear incase the sound is travelling and it is a rear unit.


    Many thanks if you can advise.
