Still have the singing sound from the front end of my T-Bird and the handling has felt a little loose lately. Thinking of replacing my wheel bearings if I can do it on the cheap. I haven't priced them at the dealer yet but figure generic would be a lot less $$. Anyone know what size to buy for front and rear?

Take them out, they will have numbers stamped on them, that is the generic bearing number. Buy good quality ones, cheap bearings will always let you down.
maybe your local Bearing Service has a listing for them. It's amazing the listings some of them have.

On the TBS at least (think the TBird is identical) the front bearings are 2 x Koyo 6005 RS, rears are 1 x Koyo 6304 RS and 1 x 6204 RS. I haven't checked the sprocket carrier bearing, sorry.

You should be able to see the bearing number just by prying out the grease seals on each wheel - the number is stamped on the bearing casing.

In the UK these would cost about £5 per bearing from a generic bearing supplier, maybe about $7 in the US?

BTW: I agree with JWoodsie - get decent quality.
