Rear Wheel Hub Bearing Failure

[tom_sprecher]

We jacked one side of the car up on the BMR jacking rail to replace the OEM lug nuts with some Gorilla units and noticed the driver's rear wheel had way to much play, like maybe 1/4" - 3/8" of wobble. 22k miles, no track or drag launches either.

Anyone else had to have one replaced?

I've lost track of how many times I have replaced mine. It seems to affect PP cars especially.

A friend of mine has taken his Mustang in three time for this

My faithful passenger rear was silent for quite a while after the loctite and full Hulk Smash treatment, but it is starting to pop again. Oh well, at least I know how to fix it for a while, now.

I had to do mine (left rear) at 8k miles.
1 track day (counter clockwise course) and a few drag days (NA).
No wobble in the wheel but the magnetic seal failed, causing the ABS and a heap of other functions to fail, including the reversing camera, cruise control, the steering defaulted to the heaviest setting and the car felt sluggish as all hell. I'm guessing that the car was unable to make sense of it all. :shrug:

The 2017 GT350 I sold had the driver's rear replaced under warranty at 4,500 miles.

Parts Geek has them for sale at about $50 bucks each.
Buy the Timken PN# HA590577. They are in a timken box but FoMoCO is staamped on the flange.
I bought 4 as I'm sure I will probably be going through them every 20K or so.
Oh, Made in the USA too! who woulda thunk it?

TIMKEN bearings are one of the best out there and no one should have any issues with their products.

My 94 Cobra is nearly all TIMKEN bearings (clutch throw out, pilot, entire rear assembly, etc). Those bearings have been in place, in use, for over 10yrs... the throwout bearing alone has over 40k on it, no issues ever.

TIMKEN bearings are highly recommended on a lot of automotive forums.
