coffeecup Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Our 03 fiesta front wheel bearing housing has NO groove to retain the new bearing, two months ago we had a new one fitted, but after a while the bearing started to move out causing the housing to grind on the disc, I now have bought a new bearing that comes with circlip and new nut, but am baffled as to what stops the bearing moving in the housing again, I understand it can't go one way as it pushes up to a lip, however there is nothing at the hub end ???

HLENNIE Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 would have thought the circlip would have held the bearing in place after being pressed into the hub got any pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeecup Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 No, there is no circlip groove, i think this model and year doesn't use the circlip supplied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HLENNIE Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 had the previous bearing rubbed the housing you can get bearing lock just like thread lock but for bearings try this it might help. if u know and machinist u could get a grove machined in. apart from that I don't know what to suggest.
