Looks like Ford hasn't learned it's lesson from all the wheel bearing replacements it did on earlier year models. Wheel bearings are still crap on 2005. Front drivers side is oscillating between turboprop and squeal mode. I will be replacing it today, then we will see how much noise the other three are making. At least for the 2003 you had the rear bearings recalled, their not trying to do that any more than they have to. I guess ford figured that since the soccer moms were switching to SUV they could save cost by putting a minivan caliber wheel bearing on a 4wd vehicle and nobody would much notice. At least they had the sense to integrate the bearing with the hub assy so as to maximize the costing of this part. Way to go Ford!
