This problem is recurring. I have had ALL my wheel bearings replaced at least once, not to mention SEVERAL other problems. After having several of the bearings replaced I asked my mechanic why this continued to happen...was it something I did? Maybe my driving ...nope... part of the wheel bearings are made of plastic...PLASTIC?!?

Nothing like laying on the frozen ground trying to fix this shit in the middle of winter. Ford knows there is a problem with the seals. But no recall was ever issued. Let one of the Ford Family come down and fix the next damn problem with it

I just noticed that my wheel bearings have gone bad. Now I am tryign to figure out what to do, where to go, who is paying for it.
63200 miles is too early for the failure

I was informed that my right front wheel bearing was "shot" when I had my 2000 Ford Focus in for repairs with the engine light being on and poor engine performance. I was also told the left front bearing was going and needed replaced very soon. Not a normal problem even at 85,000 miles. Ford needs to have some major re-calls on this vehicle and year!!

Focus SE

I noticed a whirring sound in the front end with a little bit of wobble in the steering wheel and a definate shaking when appplying the brakes. Ford replaced the L front wheel bearing. I got the car back and it was much improved but still not right. Seems like the right side might be having the same problem. I worry because the warranty is about to expire.
