Sure thing!

In order to find the correct bearings and hubs, you're going to need to remove the existing hub and look on the physical bearings for a part number.

If you're unable to find the part number on the bearings itself, you'll need to take a set of calipers # PTW80157 and measure the B, C, and D areas shown on the diagram attached.

With this information, as well as the bolt pattern, I will be able to find the correct replacement hubs and bearings for a 1996 Escort.

Thank you for the information, that helps greatly! However, based off of the numbers you provided, I am able to determine that you have a pretty uncommon axle typically meaning it is an older one. With that being said, you aren't going to be able to find a hub that matches, so you're going to need a new axle. If you can send me the spring seat to spring seat distance, as well as the hub face to hub face distance (shown in attached image). If you're able to get those measurements to me, I'd be happy to find something for you.
