Review on Ford M 4413 Independent Suspension Bearing by Nick Singh

Revainrating 2 out of 5

These bearings are of poor quality. Could it be cheap fakes?

This part number indicates this is a Ford product but the quality isn't what it used to be. I have a bearing with the same part number that I bought 6 years ago for comparison purposes. The new bearing has plastic roller bearing cages, while the old product had steel cages. Rolls even fall out! The problem only occurs when changing the axle. Be careful not to knock out the bearings! I have attached comparison photos. Also, the old seals were brown like on the product picture. The resulting fillings were black. I've seen both versions from Ford. This is not a problem. It's just an indicator that they're cutting costs and still charging premium prices.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Out of style
