Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Wheels & Tires Wheel bearing on its way out?

I drove my 96 Contour (w/115k miles on it) to Ft Sill, Oklahoma (nearly to Texas) with a bad wheel bearing.

I have no idea how long the bearing was bad since I bought it like that.

Never had any issues with it... well, when I was driving.

Changing them out was a MAJOR PITA! The "on the car" system left my brother with tiny fragments of the bearing in his arms!

Bench press & long sleeve shirt FTW here!

Also might wanna change out both while you're at it. The passenger side might be on it's way out also.
