Two problems related to front suspension wheel bearing have been reported for the 1999 Mercury Cougar. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Driver's side wheel bearing has failed 3 times in 4 months. Each time requiring the bearing to be replaced, as well as the brake pads and rotors.
First time my wheel bearings were replaced 08/30/00 under warranty. I think that wheel bearings shouldn't have to be replaced with such low milege.
