FEDERAL-MOGUL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 31, 1996


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and 
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the 
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 
for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all 
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary 
for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the 
three-month period ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of 
the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1996.  
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and 
footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for 
the year ended December 31, 1995.

Certain items in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified 
to conform with the presentation used in 1996.


2.   EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The computation of primary earnings per share is based on the weighted average 
number of outstanding common shares during the period plus, when their effect 
is dilutive, common stock equivalents consisting of certain shares subject to 
stock options.  Fully diluted earnings per share additionally assumes the 
conversion of outstanding Series C ESOP and Series D preferred stock and the 
contingent issuance of common stock to satisfy the Series C ESOP preferred 
stock redemption price guarantee when their effect is dilutive.  The number 
of contingent shares used in the fully diluted calculation is based on the 
common stock market price on March 29, 1996, and the number of preferred 
shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) that were allocated 
to participants' accounts as of March 31 of each of the respective years.  

The primary weighted average number of common and equivalent shares outstanding 
(in thousands) was 35,066 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 and 
34,918 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995.  The fully diluted 
weighted average number of common and equivalent shares outstanding (in 
thousands) was 37,464 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 and 
41,786 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995. 

Net earnings used in the computations of primary earnings per share are 
reduced by preferred stock dividend requirements.  Net earnings used in the 
computation of fully diluted earnings per share are reduced by amounts 
representing the preferred stock dividends when their effect is antidilutive 
and amounts representing the additional after-tax contribution that would be 
necessary to meet ESOP debt service requirements under an assumed conversion 
of the Series C ESOP preferred stock when their effect is dilutive.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations


THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

Sales for the first quarter of 1996 were $521.9 million compared to $524.3 
million in the same 1995 quarter.  North American replacement sales decreased 
2.5 percent to $195.2 million, from $200.3 million in the first quarter of 
1995.  The decrease was attributable to the elimination of a sales policy 
which encouraged customers to place large quantity orders by offering 
additional discounts and extended payment terms.  International replacement 
sales increased 33.3 percent to $154.9 million from $116.2 million in the 
first quarter of 1995.  Excluding the 1995 acquisitions of Bertolotti in 
Italy and Centropiezas in Puerto Rico, international replacement sales 
increased 8.0 percent.  North American original equipment sales decreased 
23.0 percent to $112.7 million from $146.3 million in the first quarter of 
1995.  A large percentage of this decrease was attributable to the divestiture 
of Precision Forged Products Division in April 1995, offset slightly by the 
acquisition of Sealed Technology Systems in September 1995.  Excluding this 
divestiture and acquisition, sales decreased 12.0 percent over the first 
quarter of 1995, consistent with North American auto production which included 
the impact of the General Motors strike.  International original equipment 
sales decreased 4.1 percent to $59.0 million from $61.5 million in the same 
1995 quarter.  The sales decrease was primarily due to weakness in the engine 
bearing product line in the French automotive market, particularly at Renault 
and Peugeot.

The Company's operating earnings decreased $2.9 million to $29.2 million when 
compared to the first quarter of 1995.  The operating margin decreased 
slightly from the first quarter of 1995 to 5.6 percent.  The Company 
attributes this decrease to a $10.7 million increase in selling, general and 
administrative expenses, primarily due to the shift to international 
replacement business, which has a higher percentage of selling, general and 
administrative expenses.

Pretax earnings decreased to $17.0 million for the first quarter of 1996 
compared to $22.8 million for the same 1995 quarter.  The decrease is 
attributable to additional interest expense due to higher levels of debt.  
Net earnings were $10.6 million or $.23 per common share on a fully diluted 
basis in the first quarter of 1996 compared to $14.2 million or $.33 per 
common share in the first quarter of 1995.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital was impacted by a $15.9 million increase in accounts receivable 
during the first quarter of 1996 compared to an increase of $71.1 million in 
1995.  This decline in accounts receivable growth is primarily due to a sales 
policy change in the North American replacement business.  The Company expects 
that available cash and existing short-term lines of credit will be sufficient 
to meet its normal operating requirements.  

Net cash used for investing activities consists primarily of capital 
expenditures for property, plant and equipment to implement process 
improvements, information technology and new product introduction.
