Review on πŸ” Timken 516007 Bearing: Top-Notch Quality and Reliability for Optimal Performance by Jeff Swan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent rear wheel bearing for 2003 Ford Focus with drum brakes

This rear wheel bearing in the case of the 2003 Ford Focus is pressed into the brake drum. I have now replaced two of these with a 20 ton factory press and have been successful both times. This is a quality camp. The packaging says Made in Hungary. Before pressing out the old bearing, remove the circlip. Make sure your ABS magnet ring is properly seated on the drum (if installed) after replacing the bearing. Note that the plastic sealed bearing end goes to the spindle and the metal sealed bearing end goes to the cap. When reinstalling the brake drum on a 2003 Ford Focus, tighten the knuckle nut to 173.3 lb-ft while turning the wheel counter-clockwise.

Pros
  • Anti-fatigue
Cons
  • For old
