'02 LS Driver Side Hub Assembly
2002 LS V8 - 70k miles
I'm in the process of replacing a bunch of front end parts due to bad boots and looseness and brake pads. I spun the rotor with the brake caliper and pads off and noticed a clicking noise in the hub assembly. I tried the other side, and no clicking. Is this the sign of a failed hub? Thanks, |

Re: '02 LS Driver Side Hub Assembly
Did you check to make sure it wasn't rubbing on the water shield and that there wasn't a piece of grass or something rubbing on the inner stub? Assuming there's nothing foreign rubbing on the rotor or stub, it could be a failed wheel bearing or possibly a problem with the ABS sensor or tone ring.

Re: '02 LS Driver Side Hub Assembly
If they use salt on the roads in Wisconsin like they do here in Iowa, the hub assembly probably will not come apart easily. If it does, then it's not a bad job to replace the hub/bearing assembly.

Re: '02 LS Driver Side Hub Assembly
Glad it worked out for you. Did the new hub solve the noise concern? It may be worth the effort to pull the other hub and put some anti-seize around the hub/bearing housing and on the mounting bolts so when/if it fails it won't be seized in place.

Re: '02 LS Driver Side Hub Assembly
There is no more ticking when spinning the hub. Good idea on the other side, if I ever take the other side apart for any reason, I will do that. Right now I'm dealing with trying to remove the drivers side valve cover to do the gasket job as I have a lot of oil in the spark plug tubes causing coils to fail. The passenger side was easy, driver side...not so much.
Thanks, |
