Ford Sierra Sapphire/Escort 4x4 Cosworth 1990-1998 Front Hub Wheel Bearing Kit
What Does a Wheel Bearing Do? A wheel bearing is a precision-engineered component made up of steel balls (ball bearings) housed within a metal ring, commonly known as a race. Its primary job is to help your wheels rotate smoothly while reducing friction, supporting the weight of the vehicle, and ensuring safe, stable driving. Signs Your Wheel Bearing May Be Failing If the bearing seal becomes damaged, you may begin to hear a noise similar to driving over a motorway rumble strip. This noise typically gets louder over time. As the wheel bearing wears, the sound often increases while cornering, for example, noise when turning left can indicate an issue on the right-hand side. Replacing the Wheel Bearing on a Ford Sierra ({1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998}) Accessing and replacing a wheel bearing can be a challenging task, especially on front-wheel-drive or 4x4 vehicles. Several components must be removed to reach the hub assembly, and the bearing itself is tightly pressed in place. Without the correct tools such as a jack, axle stands, and a press, this job can be very difficult to complete at home.
