how do you change wheel bearing on 98 mercury mountaineer
If your vehicle has 4 wheel drive, then yes, it has a differential in the front axle.
The 2001 Mercury Mountaineer Owner Guide shows : For the FRONT AXLE : ( Motorcraft SAE 80W-90 Premium Rear Axle Lubricant ) * 1.8 U.S. quarts
Go to dealer...and they will change them to early.
Looking at the front suspension, look for axle stubs with rubber boots extending from the front differential to the front hub assembly (just inside the front tires) The presence of both the axle stubs and the front differential signify AWD/4WD
jack up car and change plugs from behind each front tire.

My front wheel bearings just went in my 04 mountaineer, and we tried to replace them ourselves, but in order to get to the bearings you have to have the truck up on a lift, so unfortunately we had to send it to a mechanic.
On a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer : The gas tank is under the vehicle , on the drivers side It is in front of the rear tire and runs from the rear towards the front of the vehicle
I had the same problem with my 99 AWD mountaineer. I was told the front differential was bad.
Yes , shock absorbers front and rear
