I am at 124K miles and believe I hear droning from my bearing. Two questions.
1. Has anyone had "good luck" with an aftermarket replacement not OEM and what brand?
2. How many miles are you getting/have gotten out of your front bearings and do you have oversized tires?

I purchased my truck with 92K miles and now at 124K. Purchased the truck with offset Fuel 18's with 33x12.5x18 and went to 35/12.5/18's. I figured that the oversized tire combo would accelerate wear.
Appreciate any thoughts.

 

Checking Rockauto the Motorcraft are at $323.00.SBF $211.00, Moog $151.00 and a few others at the 270-280 mark. These are all standard and not premium. Would not even think about going economy.
