Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / November 2005How often to re-lube wheel bearings?
I've seen attachments to grease guns for this, but how often should it be done? -Rich > I've seen attachments to grease guns for this, > but how often should it be done? > -Rich On my own cars, I do it every time I do the brakes. Cheers, We are talking "front wheel bearings" aren't we? Rears are lubricated with the differential gear lube.

For rears, the change interval is "when you've got an axle seal leak." 8-) Cheers, > We are talking "front wheel bearings" aren't we? Rears are lubricated with > the differential gear lube. Wrong, rear bearings on most fords are sealed and not lubed by gear oil. :) SignatureMark -- "I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates who once said, "I drank what?".

I think that the sealed units were introduced on the sn-95 (1994) mustangs. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. Prior to that you needed to periodically repack your front wheel bearings. I, like other people responding to this thread, would repack my front wheel bearings when I did front brake work. Pity the bearings in my 2001 GT "dried out" and failed. I'd rather they hadn't been "sealed." My 1988 and 1993 (which I drove MUCH harder) not a problem. |
