How to service the rear wheel bearing and axle shaft seal on a 8.8-inch ring gear on Lincoln Town Car?

The first step to service the rear wheel bearing and axle shaft seal on Ford 8.8-inch ring gear is removing the axle shaft. You should check the vent of the axle housing for blockages when the wheel bearing oil seal starts leaking. Remove the oil seal from the axle tube while thoroughly protecting the seal bore along with the tube. Carefully examine both the rear wheel bearing along with the axle shaft to check for signs of wear or damage. Extraction of the rear wheel bearing becomes necessary when using a Slide Hammer in combination with an Axle Bearing Remover tool. The new rear wheel bearing requires application of rear axle lubricant before using the Axle Shaft Bearing Installer to set it in place. Use Axle Shaft Oil Seal Installer to install the new wheel bearing oil seal by applying long-life grease to its lip. Finally, reinstall the axle shaft.

However, the Wheel Bearing is used in Lincoln Town Car vehicles to help rotate the wheels in a smooth method; this helps in boosting performance and safety. These bearings which are found in hubs helps in reducing friction in order enable free running of the wheel and tire. Lincoln Town Cars have three main hub and bearing designs, with the most typical one being the unit or integral design in which the hub and bearing assembly may include an ABS sensor and is usually replaced in this form. Moreover, the service of it may be accompanied with the removal of the steering knuckle in some front-wheel-drive models; separated tapered roller bearings are used as the non-driven axle hub. Bearing that is worn out or loose will cause noise and vibration, and sometimes maybe extreme to cause the wheels to fall off. Maintenance is critical to the Wheel Bearing due to its key function and this should involve inspection and regular check-up that includes touch as well as the regulation of the bearing end-play as may be necessary.
