[QUOTE="mustangbob, post: 15576264, member: 112837"] Hey guys, Sorry for posting again, but have another issue. Just got back from convalescent leave and dropped my car off to have it looked at its been wondering and sometimes violently veering left or right especially when changing lanes. Anyway I thought it might of been from loose tie rods or front suspension. However, the mechanic said the front looks fine except for the ball joints that have cracked boots and a little play. But he said the rear wheel bearings are bad and had a lot of play in them and they need to be replaced. He said it would be about 6 hours of labor and cost for parts and labor was around $560. However, I need to verify with them before they start tomorrow but I think that is just for the bearing and doubt it will be ford parts. From doing research on here and watching videos, it seems like the jobs is not that intense mainly finding a press for getting the bearings in and out. And that we should only use the ford bearings because they are roller bearings and that the rotor hub assembly should also be replaced. So I am thinking that I might just cancel on having them do it and do it myself, it seems for the ford parts it would be around $400 for ford hubs and bearings. Anything else I should replace and do the hubs [U]need[/U] to be replaced also? I am just trying to get opinions on this, I want it done right the first time and not have to worry about it again for a long time. I plan on putting on either a Twin screw or Turbo in the no to distant future. Thanks guys, Bob [/QUOTE]
