Ford Explorer Wheel Bearing Replacement
Why do Ford Explorer wheel bearings need to be replaced?
The wheel bearings on your Ford Explorer allow your wheels to spin freely as you are driving.
A wheel bearing replacement can cost $290 to $475+ depending on the location of the bearing and whether it requires pressing in and out of the hub assembly.
Most modern vehicles will have either ball bearings or taper roller bearings as the wheel bearing type. Bearings require a lubricant to move smoothly, once water and dirt work their way into a wheel bearing the lubricant will degrade and eventually the wheel bearing will start to deteriorate and fail.
The life expectancy of a Ford Explorer wheel bearing can't be determined as they could deteriorate at any time. However, vehicles driven off-road tend to go through wheel bearings more frequently due to the rough terrain, dirt and debris encountered.
