Phase One done (wheel Bearing)

jeef · #1 05-10-2003, 09:14 PM

yay my i swaped my wheel bearing out, i'll try to remember to snap some pics of the old one and attach em to show you why it was so noisey... my car sounds so f'n awsome now! god i missed the sound of my exhaust! the swap of the bearing was pretty easy and straight forward too took 30-45 min b/c... well i'll show ya in a later past and explain... not i just need to get phase 2 rolling... the new tire and braided brake lines/new brake fluid.

pics to follow in a bit

I had the same problem... except for BOTH my rear wheel bearings were toasted. OMFG it was so unbearable driving with the horrible GRINDING and RESONATING HUM. I swapped out my whole rear trailing arm/lower control arm with a disc brake unit, so i killed 2 birds with one stone, or should i say 4 birds with 2 stones

How did you do it yourself? I thought you need a press of some sort to get the hub off and the wheel bearing out?

that would be one thing to check out... does it do it all the time? or does it only do it at certain times? jack the car up grab the wheel and shake... if it moves then its a good indication the bearing is shot...

has just recently started doing it all the time
