WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY FAILURE. HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLIES. WHY CAN''T FORD ADD A LUBE FITTING? IF THEY DID IT WOULD MAKE LIFE A LOT EASIER. I AM SURE IT WAS ENGINEERED WITHOUT ONE SO THEY COULD MAKE MORE MONEY. BUT I WILL NEVER GO TO A DEALER OR BUY AN OEM PART FROM ANY CAR MANUFACTURER UNLESS NO ONE ELSE MAKES AN EQUAL. YOU JUST CAN'T REPLACE THE THINGS ON THE FRONT WHEELS, MUST HAVE A FRONT END ALIGNMENT DONE ALSO. AT 50K MILES THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!
