Excursion 2000-2005 Ford 4WD - Lifetime Warranty Front Wheel Bearing by Kryptonite

The Kryptonite KR205 Heavy-Duty Front Wheel Bearing is engineered to withstand the extreme stresses of larger tires and lift kits, making it the highest-quality replacement available for Ford Excursions. Featuring oversized heavy-duty internals, this bearing is designed to improve strength, rigidity, and overall performance over OEM components. The wheel studs provide a secure and reliable fit, ensuring maximum durability.

With a unique ball-and-taper bearing arrangement, this wheel bearing minimizes deflection of the hub face, resulting in better braking performance, improved steering accuracy, and enhanced handling. Reduced deflection also increases stability, making your truck more responsive and safer to drive in demanding conditions.

Designed to fit 4WD models only, this bearing will not fit 2WD models.

Important Fitment Note:

Ford changed the wheel stud thread pitch on Super Duty trucks / Excursions during the early 2000s model years. As a result, some vehicles may have different lug-nut thread sizes depending on the production date or prior repairs.

• 1999–2002 Models: Typically use M14 × 2.0 thread pitch
• 2003 and Newer Models: Typically use M14 × 1.5 thread pitch

However, some vehicles may have had hubs, axles, or bearings replaced in the past with earlier or later-style components.

Before Ordering - Please Verify:

To ensure proper fitment, we strongly recommend confirming your existing lug nut thread size before ordering:

• Test-fit a known M14 × 1.5 and M14 × 2.0 lug nut by hand
• Or measure the thread pitch using a thread gauge
