How do you replace rear wheel bearing on a 2002 Lincoln ls?

Answer 1

I will offer some info. Maybe not 100% accurate. I have had rear wheel bearings replaced on other vehicles. My wife drives a Lincoln LS now. She needs some work done on the rear end along the lines of wheel bearings. When I had my wheel bearings replaced. They had to pul the housing off the rear end. They had to pull the rear axles and drain all the fluids. There were shavings in the fluids. The first time. The dealer did all that and replaced my wheel bearings. New fluid in. One year later. The rear end was going out again. I took it to my mecanic. He told me the dealer should have pulled the axles and replced the bearings as there was still shavings in those bearings. So, he replaced the bearings and I never ever had bearing problems again. If they do not replace the bearings. You wil still have shavings in the axles bearings. I should have known the dealer would not do it right. You would think they would. But no. They did not. That is my story and I am sticking with it. Bill in Edmond Oklahoma
