GMB 725-0235 front wheel bearing and hub assembly for the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer and other vehicles lets the wheel turn on the axle while holding the wheel studs.
A humming or growling that changes with road speed, vibration at the wheel or an ABS warning light can mean a worn bearing. Worn tires can hum in a similar way, so look over the tread for uneven wear before you replace anything. This listing is one wheel bearing and hub assembly; the front axle takes two, one on each side, and they are normally replaced together.
It fits the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, the 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator and the 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer. It is built to OE-level tolerances.
