Wheel Bearings.

Wheel Bearings.
In addition to some other things I'll be doing to the 'Stang.... Right Front wheel bearing. This will be the 2nd time I'm replacing it.
Thought that a bit unusual... but then, on my '04 'Stang, the first wheel bearing went at about 40K miles.
This seems to be a running theme with these new "hub assembly" type replacements.
I suppose it's still better than having to remove, clean, re-pack bearings... and ensure they're properly pre-loaded.
And what's the deal with this one-time use spindle nut? It sure doesn't look all that special....
Just commenting. Gonna be a busy couple of days. :-)

My passenger front started getting noisy sometime before 30K. I replaced it with a timken early last year. I replaced the nut just because it was recommended. Looked like it could have been reused. Maybe the torque required to tighten it deforms the threads. I did reuse the spindle nut cover though.
