Rear Wheel Bearings Suddenly Bad... by
Pete D
I recently took my 2002 Explorer in to the dealer for a rear brake job. At
71,000 miles, not surprisingly, it needed both pads and rotors. The day

Pete D
Just a note to all those who posted about my rear wheel bearing failures

noise from somewhere on the right hand side. Then you can hear the sound...

Bob[_11_]
A little over 4 months ago I took my '05 XLT back to the dealer I
bought it used from because the right rear brake was occaisionally
dragging while starting out or very slowly creeping in traffic or at a
stop light. They said they did not find anything wrong and replaced
both rear pads and rotors....
