Next job Wheel hub
I now need to consider replacing the rear drivers side wheel hub, I can hear it, its not too bad but its bad enough to be annoying.
What are Drivetec like? They come in at around £90 for the rear, while FAG are about £140. Ive replaced Disks and pads before so I think I can probably cope with a hub, unless there are any special tools needed? |

SKF aren't expensive. I paid I think €70 per side for my SKF bearings on the V70.

SKF or FAG are far better than Drivetec. Personally, I use SKF. These bearings are a pressed in type. Pretty sure you need a press tool to get the old one out and put the new bearing in. If you haven't got the tool, you won't be able to do it.

Ahh, fair enough, I thought all were pressed in on these.
Seems odd to have pressed on the front and non-pressed on the back.

Seems a Ford thing. The P1 has the same way around. Makes it a lot easier though. I only wished Volvo did the P2 knuckle design but then again, Ford is a good partner for suspensions...

I agree regarding knuckle design. Getting the shock absorber from the knuckle on a P3 can be a nightmare. A simple "bolt through" design like the P2 had would be so much easier.
