2003 1.8 wheel bearings - littlelady19872008
hi all,

ive just had to replace a wheel bearing, rear driver, on my 2003 ford focus zetec. fair enough about 60 quid i could ill afford! was it related to the fact i had a leak coming into the boot, and one under the front driver seat, a little while ago? i read that water can destroy them? and will i now need another one? i hadnt heard any noises, that apparently i should have?

thanks for all advice
cheers xx

I replaced both front and rear bearing on my 02 Focus - just age related wear and tear nothing to do with a leaky boot.

Rear bearings seem to be a common failure on that age of Focus. Every car has its weakness!
