Consumer Description

ALL FOUR WHEEL BEARINGS NEEDED REPLACED ON MY 02' FORD EXPLORER PREMATURELY IN MY OPINION AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT ON INTERNET CHAT ROOMS AND WEB SITES. THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN THEY FAIL DUE TO THE TIRE WOBBLING ON THE AXLE WITHOUT WARNING. THESE REPAIRS ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE ALSO AND HARD TO DO FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON IF THEY WANT TO SAVE MONEY. *TR
