2005 ford focus zx3 standard 5 speed. I need to replace hub assembly? Is one side ok to change or should both driver and passenger side be changed at same time? Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Focus yourself? What have you tried so far? Yes and no! I am having a friend do the manual labor part Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? I am in process of getting new tires also. At least 3 new ones.

Hello, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I'm sorry to hear about problem. Ignore phone call prompt and there may be short delay between replies.
Automotive Expert
You only need to replace the 1 side that is failing, no reason to replace more. Let me know if you have questions or would like replacement instructions. Thanks.

You can call
Automotive Expert
No need for a call. You only need to replace the 1 side that is failing, no reason to replace more. Let me know if you have questions or would like replacement instructions. Thanks.

Ok thank you! Is it an assembly or different bearings? Like up and lower ball joints.
Automotive Expert
It is a assembly, the ball joints are different then wheel bearing. I'll get you a diagram.

Ok I was just asking like in general
Automotive Expert
Just replace the 1 wheel bearing that is noisy/loose and that should solve all of the problem. Let me know how it goes or if you have more questions, thanks.

how about [exhaust](/topics-exhaust-ford/) leak
Automotive Expert
Exhaust leak is usually something best dealt with by a exhaust shop and should be around a $100 repair. Let me know if you have questions, thanks.

Ok I was told i may also have motor mount issue. How hard is that that to fix and how do I find out exactly where motor mount is broken
Automotive Expert
A worn motor mount can allow excessive vibration and lead to exhaust leaks so dealing with the motor mount issue would probably be best first step. Let me know how it goes or if you have questions, thanks.

Ok can you send me instructions on replacing hub assembly? I know they have to be pressed in and out to avoid damaging them.
Automotive Expert
Here are instructions, let me know how it goes or if you run into questions.
