F'ing cheap offshore garbage they sell now-a-days. So I had a issue again today on my way home from work. I got the same feeling all over again. Sqeeling, grinding and a lot of noise. 1 of the bearings in the replacement drums went, and the other was well on its way. I tell you someone is going to get an ear full tomorrow.
Luckily I had the replacement bearing left over from the TSB kit I picked up from 06GTPony when I needed to replace the ABS rings. It was after 6pm when I got home so straight to work I went. I removed the drums and went to Crappy Ripoff to have the $#!t bearing pressed out and the OEM Ford ones pressed in, and $100 later I was on my way home to reinstall them on the Focus.
Needless to say my night did not start well. Hopefully these ones hold up better than the crap ones I had before.
