[QUOTE="a64armt, post: 8207585, member: 7022"] How difficult is it to replace the front and rear wheel bearings on the SVT Focus? Are the forward bearings pressed into the spindles and require purchasing of an entire spindle? My 2002 SVTF w/102,xxx miles has had a groaning noise for some time, perhaps a few years. When it first happened, the car was still under warranty and the dealer told me it was tire noise. I replaced the tires and the noise was still there. I thought it was the brake rotors after that and recently replaced the rotors. I removed the winter tires and installed the summer tires (Goodyear F1 GSD3) and I am now very aware of the noise. The groaning is there at all times and is very prevalent when coasting to a stop (without the brakes applied). I will have to jack up the vehicle and figure out which bearing or bearings are bad. If I can't easily identify which is the culprit, I will probably replace them all if the task isn't too involved. Thanks, Vincent [/QUOTE]
