08 ford edge wheel bearing

[Fast.0]

My wifes 08 edge has a loud ass roaring noise out of the passenger side of the rear end, I looked it up and it seems to be a common problem for the torque arms putting to much pressure on the wheel bearing and eating them up. Has anybody changed them before, how hard is it, do I need a press.

Ford says in its TSB, to replace the trailing arm and bearing together. It also says if only replacing bearing, noise will return.

The bearing alone is a bolt in style bearing. Very easy.

I have done many, under warranty. Arms and bearings. The arm is the worst part of the job.

Some 2007-2009 Edge and MKX vehicles built on or before 12/4/2008 may exhibit a growl or howl type noise coming from the left and/or right rear wheel area. This could be the result of a faulty rear wheel hub bearing assembly.

ACTION:
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

If Workshop Manual (WSM) diagnostics identify a faulty rear wheel hub bearing, it will be necessary to replace the rear suspension trailing arm/knuckle assembly along with a new rear wheel hub bearing assembly.
Refer to WSM, Section 204-02, for rear wheel hub bearing and trailing arm/knuckle replacement. Only replace the rear suspension trailing arm/knuckle assembly and rear bearing hub on the side with the concern. Failing to install a new rear suspension trailing arm/knuckle assembly when installing a new rear bearing hub assembly will result in premature bearing noise/wear.
