How do you replace the right front wheel bearing assembly on a 1997 Mercury Sable?

In: Mercury Sable

Answer

It is much easier, and cheaper to find a steering knuckle or "hub assembly" in a salvage yard.

To begin, jack up the car and remove the wheel. Be certain the car is stable and will not roll off jack(s)!

Remove the spindle nut. Remove the brake caliper (hang on a wire). Remove the bolt for lower ball join. Remove the bolt that goes thru strut. Now, pull assembly off while prying to ease pressure from the lower control arm.

Depending on how many miles you have on the car, you might want to head-off some future trouble by replacing the half-axle while you have the front end disassembled.
