    Replacing rear wheel bearings

    Thanks KWT2000... Also is it better to replace the axle instead or using the repair bearings? Some people are against using the repair bearings. Thanks

    Replacing rear wheel bearings

    Hey guys...Im going to replace my rear bearings on my 2000 Expedition 4x4 5.4L 3:55LS... Does anyone use the repair bearings or just use the normal bearings? I was going to use Timken brand bearings, would that be ok? I also seen National brand bearings is that as good as Timken bearings...

    Taping or ticking noise from engine

    Ok so I just checked the spark plugs to see if any on them was loose, all are good. I have to change the oil this week and going to take a better look at the exhaust manifold bolts to see if any are missing. Could the noise be a bad main bearing? What would that sound like? Thanks

    Taping or ticking noise from engine

    Would any of these issues make the tapping sound vary with engine RPM? Thanks
