SKF FW186 front wheel bearing for the 2001-2012 Ford Escape and other vehicles lets the wheel turn on its hub while it carries the load of the vehicle.
A humming or growling noise that changes with road speed, or a loose feel at the wheel, can mean a worn wheel bearing. Tires, brakes and driveline parts can make similar sounds, so look over the hub area with the engine off and have a shop road-test the noise before you buy. Wheel bearings wear on both sides of the car, so replace the pair together; this listing is one bearing.
SKF FW186 is a direct-fit 2001-2012 Ford Escape wheel bearing. It also fits the 2001-2006 Mazda Tribute and the 2005-2011 Mercury Mariner, and each car takes two.
