Detroit Axle - Front Wheel Bearing Hub Assembly Set for Ford Escape Mazda Tribute Mercury Mariner - 2pc Replacement Kit Review

It's hard to write a review on a product that will last for years straight from the box. My original wheel bearings lasted 110,000 miles and if they get me half that I'll be happy. I used new steering knuckles so the bearings and hubs were pressed to perfection on each side for about 10 minutes and so far the machine is quiet so everything is fine. The bearings and hubs were well made and very well packaged for shipping hence I gave 5 stars so time will tell soon!

The rubbing noise issue led me to believe my wheel bearing was bad. Because of the fun chore of pushing out old bearings and sliding in new ones (which requires special equipment), I asked my mechanic to do it for me. He was very impressed with the quality and mentioned that the ones he usually bought locally didn't include a nut and spring clip. It didn't solve my noise problem, but it wasn't the bearings' fault. They are well made and highly recommended.

Quality product. Fixed my groaning passenger wheel bearing. Supplied with axle nut and locking ring (not shown). Please note: The illustration shows rubber sealed bearings. I had metal shielded bearings, not rubber bearings. Tip: When pressing the hub into the bearing, make sure that the shim used fits on the outer ring of the bearing on the engine side (not on the steering knuckle). Otherwise the hub will not press directly into the bearing and you will damage the bearing.

Bought these to replace my noisy front wheel bearing, I removed my old steering knuckle and squeezed out the old bearings, my steering knuckle is machined. a lip on the inside that would prevent a new one-piece bearing from being pressed in. Jacking up my car until my new knuckles arrive. I will update as I get new parts, hopefully these bearings will fit the new steering knuckles. I was planning on going back and getting the entire knuckle and bearings assembled, but Revain wanted me to pay…

Good DIY repair kit but you need to get it right which means you have to carefully press the bearings together with the outer and inner parts that are the right size secured tool be it a bushing, washer from bearing press kit etc, if you don't support it properly by pressing in you will separate the bearing. Since you will save money, buy a cheap 20 ton shop press and you will save a lot of time. With a press, you can install the old one and install the new one in 10 minutes of work and no…

I have deliberately waited about six months to post this review. Mainly because I wanted to know how well they still work after use. Well here we are with about 6,000 miles and these wheel bearing kits are doing great! The kits came very complete with axle nut and lock ring and were packaged very nicely to avoid damage in transit. I received the bearing in about 2 days and installed it the next day. I am a qualified automotive technician with over 35 years of experience. and I can't tell you…
