Product Questions & Answers

Replacing the Bronco II in 1990 in an effort to offer more practical ownership, the Ford Explorer shifted the market craze from the compact SUV to the midsize SUV class. It became an instant success, with the first-generation model having sold over 300,000 units a year since its introduction. With fame attached to its name, the Ford Explorer easily outsold its Jeep and Chevrolet competitors.
SUVs have a high reputation in handling tough driving demands, which is made possible by heavy-duty components. One component crucial in providing heavy-duty capability is the wheel hub, as it secures the wheel on the axle shaft. The wheel hub is responsible for holding the wheel in place while it rotates, steers, and bounces. This is why you need to replace a failing wheel hub immediately after noticing a symptom. Talking about symptoms, here are some indicators that your wheel hub is in need of a replacement.
Bad wheel hub symptoms
If you encounter one or two of the symptoms listed in this list, your only choice is to acquire a replacement as soon as possible. It would also be better if you bring your car to a certified mechanic for a proper evaluation and thorough inspection. Failing wheel hubs can be dangerous, especially at highway speeds. Without further buzz, here are some of the most common signs of a bad wheel hub assembly.
Roaring noise from the wheel area
Hearing a roaring or grinding noise coming from the wheels could be an indication of a wheel bearing problem. A worn-out bearing could affect the rotational speed of the wheel, dragging your vehicle’s overall cruising performance down. A bearing can wear sooner than expected if it is misaligned or if there’s a crack as a result of an impact.
Modern wheel bearings don’t fail due to natural causes. Rather, these equipment fail because of impact or installation-related events. Nowadays, it’s acceptable to replace only one side of bearing, in contrast to the dated norm of replacing both sides.
Clicking or clunking sound coming from the wheels
Another effect of a bad wheel bearing is the metal clicking sound you hear while you accelerate. Unlike the roaring sound, the clunking from the wheel area is a byproduct of a failing wheel hub assembly’s bearing. The sound often comes from the brake caliper hitting the walls of the wheel as it loosely moves up and down.
Noticeable wheel play when the vehicle is jacked up
Another way to trace a wheel hub problem is to lift your vehicle using a jack, or a hydraulic lift if you have one in your garage. Once your vehicle is lifted, try shaking your wheel back and forth with both hands. A play on the wheel means it is loosely attached to the axle shaft, even if the wheel is tightly bolted on the wheel hub. This can be potentially dangerous in the long run, as it could result in more serious problems like wheels coming off from its mount.
Mild to intense vibration on the steering wheel
Having one or two loose wheels due to damaged wheel hubs can result in steering wheel vibration. This steering behavior is caused by the wiggling of the wheels as you drive. The vibration or shaking begins at low speeds and intensifies as you accelerate. One of the root causes of steering vibration is a misaligned wheel hub bearing.
Finding the right fit
There are hundreds of wheel hub assemblies from varying aftermarket brands designed to fit different generations of the Ford Explorer. To find the perfect fit and avoid buying the wrong wheel hub replacement, indicate the year, make, and model. You may buy OE wheel hub replacements as itself, in sets, or as part of a kit. They are priced anywhere between $9 and $940.
Is there a safe way of removing a stuck wheel hub on a Ford Focus without damaging its wheels?
Over time, heat from friction between the hub and oil deposits creates a vacuum in the hub's connection to the axle. This frozen hub can be a pain to remove from the Ford Explorer's wheels. Prying them off will not be a smart move. Since the lack of proper lubrication is the most common cause of frozen hubs, the safest and most convenient way of removing it is with the use of penetrating oil. Greasing the area between the wheel hub and the axle can help loosen the part's stubborn hold and safely release it from the wheels. Although, a rubber mallet and wheel hub puller is still needed to completely take out the hub, the lubrication provided by the oil allows the hub to slide out more smoothly without having to exert damaging force.
Is there a way to tell which wheel hub is damaged without taking both the left and right hubs out and visually inspecting each?
Typically, vibrations or scraping noises that are felt or heard when turning right pertains to a damaged left or driver's side wheel hub and vice versa. But this is more of a rough estimation than the standard. That is why visual inspection is still the best course of action when it comes to determining which hub is damaged. If inspection is too much of a hassle to go through, one can opt to just purchase replacement parts for both hubs rather than just the damaged one. When one of the Ford Explorer's hubs goes bad, there is a high possibility that the others are also in worsening condition.
What are the symptoms of a faulty Ford Explorer wheel hub?
Wheel hubs are in essence locking mechanisms that secure the wheels to the rest of the Ford Explorer's body. Running with a faulty wheel hub can loosen the hold of the car's wheel and may lead to it flying out of the chassis. To prevent this from happening, always be attentive of the wheel's response to the car's steering. Is there a shaking or vibrating feel underneath the car while driving? Do the wheels shimmy every time the steering is turned? Is there a pulling sensation when braking? Is there a scraping or grinding sound to the wheels whenever it spins? These are all symptoms of a damaged wheel hub. If at least one of these situations is experienced, it is best to inspect the hubs physically to examine the extent of the damage. Testing the wheel hub won't require tools or jacking up the car. Simply feel through both the wheel and its hub. If a hub is a bit hot to the touch or if a wheel moves freely when shook, these are telltale signs of a hub that needs replacing.
