The wheel bearings on a Mercury Topaz help support the weight of the vehicle and allow the wheels to rotate smoothly. If you notice a humming or grinding noise coming from the wheels, it could indicate a failing wheel bearing that needs to be replaced. It is recommended to have a professional mechanic inspect and replace the wheel bearings if necessary to ensure safe driving conditions.
YES Some were all wheel drive. Allthough both front & rear are limited slip, & the rear only if the front wheels are spinning.
there are no front wheel bearings in front wheel drive cars To correctly answer your question yes, there are front wheel bearings--in fact I am going to have to have mine replaced. In the Mercury Topaz book from Haynes they do not reccommend that you do them yourself. I'm thinking that a special press is used for it. Puglet
