Ford Repair: 1995 Ford Escort, ford escort wagon, front wheel bearing


Question
I Have 1995 Ford Escort wagon , It is making a cloncking Noise in the Drivers side Front. I think it is a Front wheel bearing . Can a mechanical Guy Replace this, And do I needed any special Tools.

Answer
Mark,  

A wheel bearing is not a hard job, but it will require some specialized tools.  Possible pickle fork for the ball joints, and a bearing press to remove the wheel bearing and hub.  Clunking is normally not a wheel bearing but is normally related to a loose suspension component i/e stabilizer link.

Best of luck
