The only thing that seems logical is the wheel bearing but that was replace not too long ago and the wheel doesn't seem loose when I pull on it. Brian D.

Even a failing bearing can "feel" tight. '99 CSVT - Silver #222/276 In a constant state of blow-off euphoria.

But I think I will replace the the hub and bearing this time. Looks like it would be cheaper then having someone else do it or do it incorrectly..... I didn't realize, until today, that Ford sells them that way. Thanks again! Brian D.

Him and Bill Jenkins are both excellent people and I wouldn't hesitate to give my money to either of them!) His contact info is in the Duratec Maintenance FAQ. Incorrect pressing procedure, incorrect axle ut (AKA Locking spindle nut) torque (208-214 FOOT pounds ) and a scarred or worn hub (from a bad bearing spinning and being left unattended for too long, thus not a tight fit anymore) will all contribute to VERY quick failures.

Bad bearings indeed. I have had failures in less than 50 miles from a new bearing set.... fyi. You might want to consider getting a new hub/knuckle because I let my bearings go for so long that it made the same rubbing on the caliper, then the next bearings failed immediatly and I had to do it all over again... you could also contact stazi, that is where I got mine from... - good luck - JOE EGPLNT:MY 95' SE MTX SVT 200,000 MILE CLUB 6/06/06 - 201,000 MILES
