silinman Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I bought a 2004 used Focus LX TD DI last November and have been very pleased with my purchase. About 3 weeks ago I became aware of a regular speed related binding noise from the rear, and my local garage said I needed a new wheel bearing. This was done at a cost of around £120 and all was well, except this week I have noticed a similar noise coming from the front - the same garage now tells me that one of the front wheel bearings is now going. Is this a known problem with this model, or am I just unlucky, and should I have the other two bearings changed at the same time?

HeadShoT2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 What brand wheels do you have as my lecturer at college used to be a ford mechanic and he sed that a certain brand of tyres do it as they are not perfectly round. And recomened michillien tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silinman Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Interesting thought! The front tyres are Accieieta and the rear are Energy, 195/60/R15 on alloys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
