Do fox body cars have repackable wheel bearings?

What exactly do you mean by "repackable?"

Do the front wheel bearing need to be repacked every 20,000 or so miles?

Wasn't aware you had to do that for any vehicle, I never did on my Mustang or on my Thunderbird. Grease lasts a lot longer than 20K.

Yes the front wheel bearings on Fox Mustangs are greaseable. If properly packed, they don't require frequent regreasing. Check them every 30k or so. Use grease for Fords with disc brakes. Remember to do the inners and to buy new grease seals.

I usually do this when I have to work on the brakes.
