One problem related to front suspension wheel bearing has been reported for the 1998 Mercury Villager. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Front wheel bearing nuts have no castle washer between the nut and the cotter pin. There is a 3/16 gap between the nut and the cotter pin. Nut on my car loosened enough to allow more than 1/4 inch play at the top of the tire. Not yet confirmed by dealer.
