ok all, ther must be a right way and a wrong way to put wheel bearings in, iv put a set in my rear, genuine ford and there great ..no bother.. put another set in the other side and bought them from the rs show at heaves hotel for a tenner..new.. now my wifes frst had some front bearings put in by a local garage and it took them 3 attemps toget it right , meaning thay became noisy after a week or so , so is it cus ther not ford one,s or is it the way you put them in? the new set iv just put in have now become noisy after about 2 weeks, so whats the crack..

Did you change the races on the drums aswell?

Moonie

As above, the races need to be changed as thy wear allong with the rollers/bearings.

Also the races need to fitted correctly so thet are fully seated in the hubs and packed well with grease.

Finally they need to be adjusted correctly, not too loose or too tight.

yes changed all the bearings, as said iv done the other side and ther fine , but even mechanics cant get this right first time? i bought the first set from the show at heaves hotel..non ford
im gona put some ford ones in today..
