ISSUE
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
1. 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.
2. 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.
