I have been quoted 2-$400 to do it and waiting on what ford says, and about 90 bucks for a work shop to press bearings in and out.

I confirmed it 3 times and they said yes. FOR ford to change both rear wheel bearings on my ba xr6t it is $125 per side.....so $250 all up. (labour only)is ford getting desperate? im was expecting about 4-500 at least. Do they have a special tool to do it quick? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour was way more than what you said, almost double I think? They then crapped themselves again after a month, turns out the stub axle was cracked. They couldn't source a new stub axle even over east, and the part was $1400 or some stupid price. I ended up getting an entire knuckle from a wreckers nearby for like $300 which was fitted instead. I paid more on top for them to remove and clean the used "stub axle" from the used knuckle. They warranted the bearings luckily, maybe they didn't spot the failed stub axle first time around.Broken stub axle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front right went at 100,000ish. In both cases I had them change both sides at once for peace of mind of course.
