Skittles80 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Unfortantley the o/s/ r wheel bearing failed on my mk 5 Saturday night on the a1m and had to be recovered on a low loader not a good experience thank god I have rac cover a mechanic as just looked at it and said it needs a new stub axle he seems to think I will have trouble getting a brand new one any one else had any problems getting one then just to top it all of he then tells me the bearing on the other side as gone plus brake cylinder so not a good week on the plus side if I get the bits she will be done for the aux bridge show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmk4escort Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 hi give ford a ring ask them if they can get a genuine stub axle and if u r replacing brake cylinders don't just replace one do both as the other will leak and it will just end up being back in the garage again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
