Proper mounting requires professionalism, care, cleanliness, precision, and the correct tools. Bearings are very important machine components that require high accuracy to do their job properly. It is essential that qualified and well-equipped workers perform the mounting.

Bearings with cylindrical bores are usually mounted by pressing them on the shafts (press fit) or heating them to expand their diameter (shrink fit). The seating surface on the shaft should be lightly oiled before mounting. The bearing can be driven into position by applying light hammer blows through a rubber-made inserted piece. If heating is used, temperatures should not be higher than 125°C and necessary temperature differences can be determined using the bearing and shaft (housing) measurements in diagram X.

Took er into a Midas that could look same day. They confirmed my suspicion and estimated $1700 for the repair to replace both front wheel bearings. Right one I suspected was acting up, too... despite Ford telling me everything was perfect on my last oil change (my last free dealer oil change and rotation).

As a general rule, mounting and dismounting forces should not be transferred over roller units and raceways. Bearings will only function properly if mounted correctly.

I figured a wheel bearing was the culprit, as I'm at 70k miles. Have a 300 mile trip tomorrow and no way to get to the dealer. No time for me to really mess with it myself on the short time frame.

If you plan to reuse bearings after removal, the dismounting forces should not impact roller units and the raceway of the bearing. Smaller bearings can be dismounted with light hammer strokes through a rubber-made inserted piece on the ring face. It is better to work using tools for the dismounting process, screws, induction heaters or slotted rings. Bearings with a tapered bore can be removed by loosening the sleeve nut and then using a hammer and tubular insert. Larger bearings with a tapered bore should be dismounted using hydraulics.

Bearing housings are assemblies designed to make it easy to install bearings and shafts, while protecting bearings, extending their operating life and simplifying maintenance. These units are designed for self-aligning ball bearings, spherical roller bearings and CARB toroidal roller bearings. Housed bearings provide shaft support for radial, thrust or a combination of loads. Mounted bearing types include pillow blocks (solid or split), flanged cartridges, cylindrical cartridges and take-up units.

Bearings with tapered bores can be mounted directly onto tapered shafts or cylindrical shafts using tapered sleeves and an axial locking device (shaft nut, end cover). Fitting does not depend on the size of the bore and shaft but on the length that the bearing is pulled onto the tapered seating. Bearing clearance is reduced that way.

Just came back from a 100mile round trip that involved some minor dirt road driving. The driver's side front wheel started making some noticeable grinding and vibrating in the steering wheel at highway speed. Low speed, almost clunky-ish. It would come and go as I got back into town.

I raised concern over the price. I figured this was well within a few hundred bucks total, not $1700. The service writer miraculously found another vendor that would drop the price to $1300 if I did both bearings. I agreed, as I didn't have another option today.

What do ya guys think? Rides smooth as silk again. I'm capable of doing this work myself, but couldn't with the short notice. Was that fair or did I get gouged hard?

The tolerances of the bore and outside diameter of rolling bearings are internationally standardised. The following factors should be considered: conditions of rotation, the magnitude of the load, bearing internal clearance, temperature conditions, running accuracy requirements, design and materials of seatings, ease of mounting and dismounting, and displacement of the non-locating bearing.
