Interesting. I’ve never seen nor heard of a hub bearing failure on a GT350 or GT500, and I track them all the time.Interesting thread wit some really good responses.
It’s been discussed and a known pain point on this site that the S550 factory hub bearings are garbage. This is from the initial S550 rollout in 2015 up through as current as the past 2-3 years of production. Some M6G members have spoke of having hub bearings replaced 1, 2, and even 3x under warranty. Even with that said, the interval for replacement is all over the place with M6G members having to replace within 2k-5k miles, to being within 15k, or even approaching 20k-30k…
With that said - do any of you who track more than 50% of vehicle ownership use Ford replacement hubs (Mtorocraft or Ford Performance), or are your sourcing Non-Ford parts for replacement?
Has anyone confirmed which brand (manufacturer) Ford sourced for the factory hub bearings - is it SKF, TIMKEN, NSK, Delco, MOOG, FAG, Crown, FSK, KOYO, NTN, IKF or . . .?
Usually on the back side of the hub, the bearing race will have the manufacturer name or initials stamped into it.
On the other hand, my ‘99 Mustang Cobra hubs failed after a year or two of use.
