Wheel hub - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

DOK · 05-11-2009, 11:26 PM

Anyone ever change a wheel hub on their mach?? I think mines going bad, there's a bad humming coming from the passenger side and there's a lot more brake dust on that wheel as well. Any help on how to change these would be greatly appreciated. Also, if there's a better than stock replacement, I'd be interested, I like to drive hard and take the car autocrossing as well to the strip. Thanks again

I've replaced the front drivers side hub assembly on mine. It's not real difficult, but you do need one humongous socket. I don't recall what size, but I do remember that the stock retaining nut was one size, and the replacement, which you can only get from Ford because of some patent BS, was a different size. You can't reuse the stock retaining nut or the plastic hub cover, they are one use only. I just replaced it with a stock OEM type from the local auto parts store, it ran about $92 as I remember. Haven't had an issue with it or the passenger side stocker as of yet.

I reused mine also torqued to spec with no probs. I have checked it a couple of times just to check the torque and still good. No probs at all with the swap I went with a hub made in the U.S.A. but I dont recall the name. I would have to check my receipts.
