mk1.5 focus rear wheel bearing.
This car that my Mrs has is driving me potty. It's had 4 rear wheel bearings on the nsr in the 3 years we have owned it. I but another bearing in the drum last month and there is bloody play in them.
I've checked the or and that's the same.
What wheel bearings have you lot used on your focuses.
I've heard cheap bearings don't last long. Mind you I paid 35 quid for the last bearing.

The focus doesn't have hubs on the back. The bearing is inside the drum. I've seen a few hubs on cars and vans worn in the past.

I gave the back wheel a shake today when the car was on the floor and I can move the wheel. When going round corners the drum must be catching the backing plate.
I'm gonna go to where I got the bearing from and see if I can get another bearing.

Just fitted the bearing. There was still a bit of play in it after I've done it. It's the same as the or so I will keep an eye on it.
It's no making the scraping sound no more. I just need to fit the hand brake cable now cause its sticking. I only replaced it about a year and a half ago lol. These cheap shity parts.

this used to happen on one of my old focus ghia models in the end I did the st170 rear disc conversion as my drums were worn, I have seen some using the escort mk6 type rear bearing and others with the solid press in type glenn which is why I mentioned it, anyway lets hope new bearing lasts matey

Well me and the mrs are in the lakes and the sodding wheel bearing has gone again. Its in a garage as we speak and we have had to get a hire car.
I hate taking cars to garages when i can fix them myself. I just cant stop wheel bearings from fookin up on this focus though lol.
Will get a phone call tomorrow and see what the gargae says.

Standard wheels matey. The garage phoned me today and he said he has fitted a new drum and bearing. I said i hadnt pressed the bearing in as far as it would go. I think this is a load of shite cause if its not all the way in the circlip wont go in. Also he reckons the drum might of been catching the backing plate.
