My 01 SE had 29mm nut on axle instead of a 30mm. In order to compress the
strut spring, I had to lower it, compress it, then bolt back up. Only then
could I get the strut out. Other than that, your video was right on target.
Nathan, I wish I had read your post before I did this job! I had a real
problem with this. I did not think to lower the sub frame. Instead, I
compressed the spring but I did not have the right tool to do it so it was
a major hassle. I think you can rent or buy spring compression tools. That
would have made this job a WHOLE lot easier.
If you follow the same procedure that we show in the video you should be
able to make this repair fairly easily. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Imformative video. My question is do you have to loose the brake hub from
the strut to loose the spindle(cv)? I have had the same problem relacing
the bearing/hub assmbly on my car.
@SuperMjans We currently don’t have a video that shows this particular auto
repair. If you have a Chilton’s or a Haynes manual they would show you how
to repair that bearing. We sell the Haynes manuals on our website 1aauto.com
@BGChamp2019 Yes, usually one quick sharp blow will loosen it up. You just
don’t want to mushroom the end of the axle by striking it to many times.
I keep hearing the little birdy inner voice say it’s a crankshaft bearing.
Is that wrong? What’s the difference between wheel bearing and crankshaft
bearing? I had the wheel bearing replaced once, and the rumbling vibrating
in the right front wheel didn’t shift. I keep thinking it’s now bearing
plus tie rod, once that corner took a deer pretty bad, but which bearing
now…
On my Taurus wagon the bolt at 3:19 is rounded off a bit from using SAE
size socket instead of the metric (why the heck does a US built car have
metric bolts?) How should I approach getting the darn thing off?
@BGChamp2019 Any decent impact gun should make it easier to get the nut off
for you. Hope this helps you out.
@blewpaint We do have a video for this application located here. We also
carry these parts on our website 1aauto.com
youtube.com/watch?v=bF4ZUPhaWCI&feature=player_embedded (copy and paste
into browse).
@1aauto Could you tell me what kind of impact wrench/driver and the type of
compressor I would need to get the hubnut off because that thing is giving
me hell with the breaker bar. Should I use the 1/2 drive or 3/4 drive for
the gun? And for the air compressor, how many gallons and PSI should It
have?
You could try to use a pry bar to see if it would give you a little more
clearance.
i have a 97 taurus sho and i cant get the strut out of the knuckle, the
control arm just wont go low enough, any suggestions?
If should be a fairly similar process. We sell hubs for your Taurus on our
website 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Why is this a 2 part upload ? I thought the limit for uploads is 30 minutes
. I hope you get a chance to show 2 things 1 is changing plugs on chevy
venture and the resistor that controls the heater ac fan. Thanks
how do i replace a front wheel bearing on a 93 lincoln continental
the black plastic part in 4:17. What is that part called. i just broke it
so i need to find out its name before i go to the parts store tomorrow…
@1aauto At 4:44, what do you mean by saying, “give it a big wrap and it
loosens right up”? Are you saying that you have to hit the Axle shaft with
a hammer or something to loosen it up before pulling the shaft complety out
of the steering knuckle?
What if I don’t have an air hammer available? Can this be safely done with
a hammer and screwdriver?
@Chriscasey84 It sounds like you’re referring to the stabilizer bar. Hope
this helps you out.
I know this comes a bit too late, but for anyone else running into this
issue, you have to lower the subframe to gain additional room for the
control arm. It’s pretty straight forward; loosen the two subframe bolts
(almost all the way) and you place your jack on the subframe and lower it a
bit until you have enough clearance. Then just hammer away at the knuckle.
Good luck!
If it’s very rounded off, you might need to get an extractor socket to
remove it. They sell them on Harbor Freight com or you should be able to
find them at your local Craftsman or parts store. Hope this helps you out.
i have a 1994 taurus that needs a front passanger side wheel bearing, are
the steps the same
i had the same problum on the 99 im fixing, we would jack up and compress
the strut and spring. thin shuf a bar in it from under the hood theres a
hole to keep it compressed nd we had to sacrafice a heavy duty vice clamp
on getting the old one out lol
I’ve replaced these hub assemblies without removing the spindle
The crankshaft bearing is part of the engine and would be related to engine
speed instead of vehicle speed. If you are unsure of exactly what the issue
is, you should take your vehicle some place for a safety inspection. Most
good shops will do this for free.
Usually they’ll make a humming noise, they may grind a little bit too.
whats that part that the wheel hub bearing goes into???
@PeterObi It sounds like you may be referring to the steering knuckle.
@TommyProCam Yes this process is the same for a 2000 Lincoln Continental.
We carry them on our website 1aauto.com with free shipping, this video will
show you exactly how to install our product into your vehicle.
@1aauto Ok sir. Thank you very much!!
@Triple7Grinder Depends on your vehicle. This is a corroded car from the
Northeast salt belt, a hammer and punch or screwdriver is possible but
would have taken forever. A car from the south will probably come apart a
LOT easier.
Looking at the video the problem was getting the strut to clear the knuckle
before the A-arm bottomed out on the frame
Yes I agree. It takes a long extension on that top 15mm bearing bolt, but
those of us who do not have access to air tools and a full garage would
most likely find it much easier to remove that tricky bolt with the shaft
in place than to remove the entire shaft.
Have you ever changed the bearings on a 2000 Lincoln Continental? Is it
pretty much the same thing?
I cannot get the strut to clear the steering knuckle. i’ve tried
everything. I pound on top of the knuckle until the lower control arm
completely bottoms out but the strut is still stuck in the knuckle. HELP
PLEASE!
what kind of symptom would the bad bearing exhibit? im getting a turning/
wrenching sound as i come to a stop.
had to post, great video. things like this really make the internet a
beast, how to videos are a big help.
@scottisradd I have the same problem. My 100k mile strut is almost out of
the knuckle — only about half inch left. Every time I hit the knuckle, the
strut stretches out and then retracts while staying in the knuckle. I
considered using a hydraulic piston jack to push the lower end of the strut
up and out of the knuckle ( the jack would push a short section of pipe
inserted into the bottom of the knuckle against the lower end of the
strut). But I’m not sure if that would damage the strut.
