Morons at Ford
Which genius decided that the best way to hold on rotors is with the wheel bearing cap? Makes a simple 1 hour 4-wheel brake job turn into 5 hours. *** hats!!!
Oh, and set of 4 wheel ceramic brake pads: $60
Set of 4 wheel bearings: $400

Thats ****, my dads truck just broke well one of the leaf springs just snapped, ABS is disabled its a 2000 F-250 only 110,000km on it first problems hes ever had but they rape you and charges and parts. And theres a noise coming from the right front when you reach a certain speed and it keeps doing it, almost sounds like the tires deflated but its not. Would that be the tire, i was thinking wheel bearing or the wheel hub, you can feel it when your sitting down.

I've had a few Fords, and they've all been pretty good cars. The current one, 2000 Explorer EB V8 RWD, has never needed anything other than oil and brakes. We've had it ~6 years and 120k miles now (got it in 01 or 02 w/ 30k). Pretty sure it's on the original plugs and wires... at 150k. I've never changed em.
It's also averaged 19mpg on 87 octane, making it more economical to take on road trips than my E class which gets 25mpg on 93.

Or better yet pop the cap off, pull the carter pin, and take the bearing out. It only takes me 10 mins.
Don't over tighten it when you put it back on.
!!!!! If you can't find it and it only does it at a certain speed, and then it stops at a faster speed. You may of lost a weight on your drive shaft. I had a 78 Ford that this happened to. It would shake the truck from 35 - 65 mph.
