30,000 mile front wheel bearing grease. Sealed bearing or not?
2017 Georgetown 378xl
The ford owner’s manual calls for replacing the front wheel bearing grease at 30,000 miles unless equipped with sealed bearings. Is there any way to know if I have sealed bearings without going to a shop and having front wheels pulled? I am currently at 29,000 miles.
The answer is that they are not sealed bearings but after 73,000 miles on my 2012 Georgetown I had my braked done all around and asked the Ford Mechanic to repack the front wheel bearing because the disks had to be removed so why not repack the front wheel bearing.
Bottom line I would not worry about the bearing until you get lots of years and miles equal to mine.
I would have to agree with Iggy. Unless you have a reason to suspect they have been contaminated, showing signs of "leakage" or making noise, I personally would only visually inspect to confirm presence of grease. Maybe confirm the torque on the nut as well.
