Mondeo Parts

[Aus911]

Hi, I am new to the Mondeo world and have a Zetec, Jun2010 TDCi with Powershift and am very happy with it, however it has a noisy rear wheel bearing.
I am looking at replacing the hub and am trying to source the correct part. Any tips as to where to source them in Australia at a reasonable price. I am sure other parts will be required too!
For interest I am going to use Valvoline SynPower FE 5W-30 for the engine, any comments or preferred suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I think a sourse of reasonable priced parts would be of benifit to all here, is there anyone who does their own work on their cars here??

not a mondeo owner, but usually for general spares i go , bursons/repco in that order, unless it is a part i want to be specifically from ford , the odd bearing places will do wheel/hub/bearings but for specialist stuff a lot dont , other than that ebay might be worth a go if your not in a hurry.

Where abouts are you located? Genuine Ford Part number 6G91 2C299 FAH if that helps, if you are in Sydney I can point you in a good direction. Let me know...

Mik and GTLEGEND,

Thanks so much for the replies. I will complete my profile but to answer your question I am on the Sunshime Coast but moving to Bris very soon. The advice for the parts supplier is appreciated and the Pno is great too.
I think that I may have jummped the gun a little, I swapped the tyres to the front and the noise seems to have followed the tyres!! Oh well, the bearings may be ok, so tyres it is. It is a shame as there is heaps of meat left on the tyres.
What I was expecting is similar to my "toy" car. I have a Porsche 911, 1975, and there are specialist parts suppliers that are mainly used. I was expecting a preferred ford parts supplier. I like online so I can compare price/quality of parts.

Thanks again for your assistance, I am sure I will be on this forum in the future and will hopefully be able to assist others!

Cheers

I'm not sure I'd use Valvoline synpower FE, although it states it meets the spec's, I see no other info on any DPF specifics.

I'd probably look at SYNPOWER MST 5W-30 as it's low saps. Otherwise Nulon's product: I've used this on the last two services and like that the engine noise is a little quieter. I buy 10L drums and then the odd 5L bottle for the odd 5.5L pan. 10L on average was around $107 so get it when on special $89 I joined stupidcheap and used the $10 credit on it for $79.

I had this 'bearing' noise also. Standard tyres were rubbish and once changed were fine.

Glad this was your experience also.

Keep an eye on it. I had a rear wheel bearing replaced under warranty at about 60,000km but tyre choice can also be an issue.
