In reply to Michael E.. I know this sounds weird but make sure tires are same sizes on back passenger and drivers sides and the front also .

In reply to Mike Ribas. That depends on your mechanical experience and where you live. If you live in an area where rust is common, even simple jobs can turn into a huge headache if you're not used to dealing with it. I would look up a few videos to see what is entailed before you dive in yourself.

I have a 2013 Ford fusion making a winding noise in the rear tires, I think it’s the back wheel bearings.
Is there anything special I should know about the replacement of the bearings or is it cut and dry?

In reply to Sean. If it's coming from the front and also if it is a front wheel drive It could possibly be the CV joint(s) might need replacing as mine made a clonking noise when the steering is in full lock, could be quite expensive to replace by a garage!

In reply to Patrick J Elsken. I agree 100 %, - NO WAY should you have to replace the wheel bearing-s for at Least 30 to 50,000 miles, unless improperly installed (or lmpact gun used to tighten) or abusive driving conditions.

I did the driver side and had to use a press to get the bearing out it rusted in so bad..Decided to do the other also rusted in bad…DO BOTH had to take whole assembly off by removing steering arm,strut bolts an tie rod bolt so it could be put on a press to get bearing hub out…A 2006 AWD was mine….brutal…do both when you do them.Bearing 160 bucks each an 25 to press it out.I did the work.

Thanks so much for that article! I thought I was a bike mechanic once and tried to true a wheel. What I didn’t understand, and your tutorial demonstrated, was that “opposite of the bend” means the spoke immediately opposite of the bend, not 180 degrees away opposite! Made a nice taco out of that rim. Duh. Thanks again..

In reply to Kevin Poveromo. Not sure what the problem is. I think you're going to have to bring it to a mechanic who can check your work in person and see if you made a mistake somewhere, or if there is an unrelated issue.

In reply to Misty L Simmons. Could be a wheel bearing or axle. I don't know, I would defer to the mechanic who looked at the vehicle.
