'00 Ford Contour SE 4 cylinder, 2.0 Engine Front Wheel Drive.
I have a problem where my car vibrates on the freeways and if l'm just driving on the streets, I can hear a low grinding sound... I was told I needed the sway bar links, transmission mounts %26amp; Motor mounts and lower control arms replaced. I have just replaced The Transmission %26amp; engine mounts last year. The sway bar links are covered with grease and the round ends have exposed metal. They said the rubber parts on the lower control arms where worn out. I posted pictures here so you can see the area's I'm talking about. The control arms look like they are lifted or seperated when the car is on the ground, is this how it suppose to look? the transmission is a little too close to the frame, is that normal? It's alot because I tried to get different views. I have changed the cv half shaft, wheel bearing, brake pads %26amp; rotors, and tires, on the side were the vibrating is coming from, but the problems continue. Could these two parts be what is causing the 2 problems if not what could it be? Thanks.

http://cossiomotorservice.com/Images/P10What is Wrong Here, Hard to find problem?If those bushings are toasted on the control arms, you need new arms. Those bushings can't be replaced. They are an integral part of the arm. The sway bar link would not be the problem. Someone trying to squeeze more money out of you. Also, replace the entire shaft and on both sides. Not just the half shaft.What is Wrong Here, Hard to find problem?If those bushings are worn that could definitely lead to a uneven/rough ride... and either way wouldn't hurt to replace them, specifically the control arms.What is Wrong Here, Hard to find problem?if you havent already check to see if a rim could be bent or even check the tires to make sure they are balanced

How to Remove rear wheel from 1994chevy cavalier?
Right - simple enough as I've changed many a flat tire on most every make - done brake jobs etc
However - this beast will not come loose. It seems stuck or rusted on what I figure is a bearing cap.
Used lots of screwloose - wire brush and some force. To no avail.
There is no manual or special tool in the kit.
Word of mouth is it is a common problem.
Oh yeah, not my car, as common maintenence would have likely have prevented all this.How to Remove rear wheel from 1994chevy cavalier?here's what i've had to do many times. loosen the lugnuts out about 2 turns then drive it down your driveway a little and pull the parking brake (since that only stops the back wheels. don't go to fast. just 2-3 miles an hour (a medium role) do it a few times in forward and reverse untill it breaks loose.
yes, this has the potential to damage threads and is used as a last resort when a rubber mallet dosn't work (which i have found useless in the past.) if the lugnuts are only loosened a little and you don't drive it round the block, and just drive it a few feet up and down a driveway you will do no damage.How to Remove rear wheel from 1994chevy cavalier?I cant believe that guys said drive the car with the lugs loose. idiot. that can **** up the threads on the wheel studs. If your rim is rusted to the hub just get a rubber hammer and hit the side of the tire or rim. Should knock it right off.

Car is shaking and steering wheel feels loose...?
I have a 99 Hyundai Accent 5 speed. It is just under 91K miles. I bought it in September. I recently started noticing a shake and the steering wheel felt a little loose, but I just figured it was the tires, so I replaced 2 of the tires, and then went on a road trip (Virginia Beach to Central PA)..I still felt the shaking so I figured it needed balanced. So I took it to get it balanced and changed another tire in the process. But the shaking is still happening..it's at it worst when I hit about 60. I'll have my hands on the steering wheel trying to go straight, but it's like weaving slightly back and forth, with it leaning more toward the right. I started noticing it got really bad on my way home from PA and has gotten progressively worse since then. I've been looking on here and it seems like it's the wheel bearing or the ball joint. And it's weird how it shakes, because it's almost like it goes in a circle..It vibrates for 2 seconds, stops for 2 seconds, vibrates for 2 seconds, etc. I don't want to take it to the shop because my brother can fix what ever it is, it's just the fact that I don't want to drive this car to his house if it's something that could cause me to get in an accident, so could someone tell me what it possibly could be?? Thank you so much!Car is shaking and steering wheel feels loose...?Sound like a power steering rack problems . Have it checked along with you tie rod ends .Car is shaking and steering wheel feels loose...?get an alignment and have the components of the front end inspected....ball joints and tie rod ends to wear out .......
even a bent brake rotor can cause problems.Car is shaking and steering wheel feels loose...?It could be the ball joints or the wheel bearing the best thing to do is have it taken to a shop and have them just do an inspection, not only will that narrow down the problem but it may also be more than just one problem. when they check it out they can tell u everything wrong with the car, so ur brother can fix it for u. To have them do a complete inspection will cost about a 100$ depending on where you go, but can save u some time and hassle later, and also you can know what needs to be done on the car rather than just waiting untill something else breaks.

Rear wheel took a hit and now squeaks quite loud when I'm driving, except when brake is applied.?
I have a front wheel drive Mitsubishi 380. No too long ago the rear left wheel hit a curb quite hard. The wheel itself survived but now there is a loud squeaking noise coming from the rear wheel. The noise gets quite loud and only lessens as I apply the brakes. Even while driving slowly the squeaking occurs. Also, if I havent driven the car overnight or for a few hours it takes a bit of time for the squeaking to start. I have had a full wheel alignment done and they could not see what was causing the noise. From what I know it's most likely a damaged wheel bearing that is causing the problem but can anyone else suggest what else it could be and how much roughly repair would cost? I have also have the brake pads changed as I thought it couldbe contributing to the squeaking recently but the noise it still there just as before.

Low Noise and electrical problem?
' 00 Ford Contour SE. Front wheel drive
My car has a low grinding noise any time I drive on the street or freeway. It only happens when I'm driving %26amp; not when parked in idle. The noise comes from one side of the car. It sounds like its metal grinding on metal but its not that loud. Its coming from under the pedals on the left side of the car. I have changed the wheel bearings %26amp; Cv shaft that goes from the wheel to the transmission. I was told it could be the hub assembly, is that true,can a worn out or damaged hub assembly cause the noise? Since i replaced the wheel bearing and left the hub assembly there, do i now have to replace the wheel bearing too? what can it be? maybe the tie rod?
electrical problem -
the power locks control switch on the driver %26amp; front passenger side doors don't work, they don't lock any of the doors. How can i find the problem?
Thank You.Low Noise and electrical problem?I'm not all that sure about your noise problem but on your electrical is probably a fuse or like some dealerships they unplug the cord to the switch to make more money off of you. Check your fuses and if thats not it take the door panels off and see if they are unplugged.HOPE IT HELPED!!!

Wheel bearing?
How much does it cost to change wheel bearings if you go to a shop, is it expensive or is it better to change it your self.Wheel bearing?That depends entirely on the car you have! Most older cars that are rear wheel drive have very inexpensive bearings in them. Many new cars and trucks have the wheel bearing as part of the front hub so parts and labor could be VERY expensive in some cases. BUT EITHER way the price is different on every make and model of car.Wheel bearing?If you don't know how to do it, you're better off getting aa shop to do it. You can easily ruin new wheel bearings if you don't make sure the bearing races are good, and the new ones are tightened correctly. Replacing bearing races is a little more complicated than the bearings themselves.
How hard is it to change a rear wheel bearing?
rear drivers side wheel is whining and grindingHow hard is it to change a rear wheel bearing?It all depends on how damaged they are, the one time I had to change mine, they were completely wasted and had to fix more than just wheel bearings.How hard is it to change a rear wheel bearing?depends on whether they are pressed or not if not it only takes about 10 minutes per tire remove bearing bolt if its the outer bearings they should come right out and go right back in no problems

Are my bearing bad? Are they hard to change?
Hi, i just purchased a 1999 cbr600 f4 a few weeks ago and i rode it for the first time last weekend. I noticed that the back wheel felt a little sloppy (like it wobbled a little bit) so i got off the bike and i could just move the tire a little bit with my hand.
Do the bearings in the rear wheel need to be replaced or is it safe to ride on it like this? Could it be something else? If they do need to be replaced could you help me as to how i would go about doing that. Thanks!Are my bearing bad? Are they hard to change?download the manual here first...(free).

item106 is Wheel Bearings..Are my bearing bad? Are they hard to change?It is definitely NOT safe to ride in its current condition. You need to check and correct the cause of the problem: It could be the wheel bearings, or the swing-arm bearings. I'm assuming that the rear axle is properly tightened. First, you need the service manual for your year/model of bike. There are too many steps and too many specifics (i.e. torque values for reassembly) to learn it all online.Are my bearing bad? Are they hard to change?Be careful! I wouldn't ride it in this condition if I were you and if you absolutely HAVE to ride very slowly. Sounds like you have either a loose swing arm / rear triangle or your axel just needs to be tightened.
Get this checked out asap or if u feel competent enough try to make sure everything is tight back there.
Good luck with the fix :)Are my bearing bad? Are they hard to change?Bearings are the likely culprit, it need not be just the wheel bearings though, it could also be the swingarm bearings.
If you can notice a problem when riding they are probably completely shot and are not safe to ride with.
But first check the easy bits, tyre pressure, chain adjustment, fasteners tightened (to the correct torque).

I need help with purchasing a 2004 Impreza, please answer some questions.?
Im thining about buying a 2004 impreza, here are the specs:
1. No liens on the car.
2. 2nd owner at 106,000kms There was an under $5000, claim was under the amount where the details had to be given out.
3. never raced the car.
4. Canadian car, bought in Prince George
5. No clutch change, no slip in the clutch. user was super easy on clutches
6. The only issue: wheel bearing that was replaced by subaru under warranty.
7. The paint isnt 100%. Being a northern car for most of its life the paint it a bit worn up front. Few tiny dings from poor parking lot care of other people.
I have a few questions to any impreza owners:
1) when should the clutch most likely need a change?
2) how much would a clutch and fly wheel change cost approx?
3) What size tires does it take? and how much approximately would tires cost?
THANKS MUCH IS APPRECIATED!I need help with purchasing a 2004 Impreza, please answer some questions.?You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here - carquotes.sinfree.netI need help with purchasing a 2004 Impreza, please answer some questions.?have the car checked out by a mechanic well worth the money and ask him the questionsI need help with purchasing a 2004 Impreza, please answer some questions.?A clutch can last anywhere from 50,000 miles to well over 100,000 miles depending on how it was used. The base clutch change here in the US runs about $700. Tire size on those were 205/55/16 and decent ones in that size can be found here in the US for about 60 to 80 a piece. One hing to note. Fast wheel bearing wear can be caused by very aggressive driving or aftermarket wheels with too low an offset. So I doubt #3 is true. I mean it's the 2nd owner so how do they know?

How can i tell wether or not my t-bird has?
i have a 96 t bird. i already changed the wheel hub assembly on the driver side. the passenger side wheel hub assembly look pretty new. my question is how can you tell which suspension you have? it could be either sport or standard. the passenger side humbs badly and the wheel hub bearing is going out. what could cause a new hub assembly to go bad? could it be just the spindle is wrong for the suspension?How can i tell wether or not my t-bird has?the dealer or internet can tell you by the vin # if there are wires going to the struts or a interior switch to adjust it is sport but that would have nothing to do with wheel bearings if they are correct for the vehicle and went bad it is because they were either to tight, to loose, or not greased properlyhow do ex smokers deal with get ride of my dry skin
How to change 02 f-150 front wheel bearings?
i noticed a kind of humming noise coming from the front of the truck, my gut reaction is its the bearings going out. if i remember correctly its a pretty straight forward process.
1. remove wheel
2. remove caliper
3. remove the bearing cap
4. remove the spindle nut
5. remove rotor and replace bearings
pretty sure thats the sum of it, but do any you need any special tools? its been a while since i've done any bearing work and now i at college at my tool arsenal is basically limited to a 100 or so piece craftsman set.How to change 02 f-150 front wheel bearings?You'll need a brass punch.
The oil seals %26amp; bearings come out easy enough but use the brass punch to knock out the races. The new bearings will come with new races.
An arbor press is best to press in the new races but you can use the brass punch and carefully tap them in making sure they go in straight and evenly as you gently tap all around them in. Take your time and make sure the races are bottomed out. Pack bearing grease into the bearings before installing them.

The oil seals %26amp; bearings come out easy enough but use the brass punch to knock out the races. The new bearings will come with new races.

How much play should you get from the short driveshaft on car?
I have a rover 220 SDI,i changed the nearside wheel bearing yesterday but noticed that afterwards there was a lot of play in the shaft,when i had the hub removed i was able to pull the driveshaft at least 2 inches out and back in, should this be normal or is my driveshaft knackered?How much play should you get from the short driveshaft on car?that is normal, your drive shaft has to be able to change lengths throughout normal driving conditions.How much play should you get from the short driveshaft on car?no you have put the bearing in wrong or left a spacer out , this is not a job for a novis yours and other peoples lives are at risk.How much play should you get from the short driveshaft on car?As matthew h says,this is definately normal,the shaft has to move to allow for movement of the steering etc..

Wheel bearing repair messing up brakes?
Hi. I have an 03 Oldsmobile Alero. Yesterday at the local garage I had my front drivers side wheel bearing replaced. Yesterday when I was driving the couple of miles home I noticed something was different. It was steering great but the breaks seemed %26quot;loose%26quot;. I pressed them and they didnt seem as %26quot;tight%26quot; as usual. I drove it about twenty miles today and the breaks are just completely jacked up. They were barely even catchin, they were 10 times more delayed. Just wondering...what could have messed them up.. the pads were recently changed and the rouders rotated..so just wondering what could the mechanic have done to mess things up. and how much would parts cost. thank you.Wheel bearing repair messing up brakes?when the mechanic took the front apart to replace the bearing he would have had to remove the brake calipers from the rotors. Most of the time they don't have to be taken off completely but can be laid aside. If it was completely removed he may not have bled the brakes after reinstalling. If not taken off he may have damaged the brake line when setting it aside. If the brakes are soft and getting worse I would assume there is air in the system. Either take it back and demand it be fixed (free) or take it to another mechanic to have the brake system checked.Wheel bearing repair messing up brakes?You need to have it looked at immediately. The brakes could go completely out. It sounds like they done something wrong when they had it apart.Wheel bearing repair messing up brakes?If it wasn't doing it prior, get it back to the shop and tell them what's up. Parts should cost nothing, neither should labor.Wheel bearing repair messing up brakes?replacemet of a wheel baring on your car shouldent have caused a issue with your braking system but i would have it looked @ aswell as the baring by whome instaled it.you may have anothr issue??
Ford fiesta mk3 n reg?
trying to change the front wheel bearing. got the brake disc and caliper off and am now stuck.cant get into bearing, seems to be a rotor thing in the way , how do u get this off, tried hitting it with hammer but no luck. any ideasFord fiesta mk3 n reg?I'd seriously consider getting a garage to do it because you sound like you don't have a clue and i wouldn't want the wheel to fall off and kill you or someone else.
To do it properly you need to undo the driveshaft nut, the bottom balljoint ect and completely remove the whole hub assembly to work on it at a bench.manual transmission advise for investment banking

Many times the drum is simply held there because of rust, and the fact that it has been there for a long time. Take a rubber hammer or a hammer and a shoe, and try to hit the drum to knock it loose.

I put a new front wheel bearing on my car, now i'm getting 1/2 the MPG i was. Could i have tightened it too mu?
Nothing else changed on the car. as soon as i was done with the bearing, the car went from getting almost 300 miles a tank to 200. So from 30mpg to 20mpg. I'm thinking it's gotta be the problem. But i don't know how this could be. You can't tighten a bearing too much being that it's pressed in, it's a fixed piece. I'm wondering if it's a bum bearing. am i wrong?I put a new front wheel bearing on my car, now i'm getting 1/2 the MPG i was.

Wheel bearing? 2000 Impala?
So, my car has been vibrating really badly when I turn my steering wheel to the left whenever I'm driving around a curve and it does it whenever I'm speeding up too. I took it to the dealership today to get my oil changed and they said my passenger side outer tie rod was bad and so was my driver sider hub bearing. I replaced the tie rod today (the outer one) and the clicking noise I hear when I turn my wheel has decreased but not completely gone and it still vibrates whenever I turn. How badly is my wheel bearing wore out? How long will it last? I'm supposed to get it done Thurs but I'm scared it's something more than the wheel bearing. Help!Wheel bearing? 2000 Impala?Ok, first off I'd be a bit skeptical about a wheel bearing for 60 bucks. The wheel bearing for your car is a whole hub assembly, so unless they are going to press the bearing out and press in a new one (about an hour labor with a hydraulic press so $20 to put it on seems cheap now) that sounds like a cheap assembly. Depending on the braking systems of your car (4 wheel ABS or 2 wheel ABS) the hubs cost about $168 from NAPA. As far as the problems is concerned, if the problem was with the drivers side bearing then you would notice it turning to the right; all the weight shifts to the opposite side when turning. Like others to answer, I would have them check the tulip (CV) joints in the CV shaft on the passengers side. As far as safety is concerned, if the bearing does seize up while you are driving that can cause the car to pull in the direction of the seizure so if you are not ready for it you can swerve pretty bad in that direction. I've seen bad bearing last for 2 days after making noise and I've seen them last for 6 months...it's really a crap shoot.Wheel bearing? 2000 Impala?Sounds more like CV joints to me.Wheel bearing? 2000 Impala?could be a CV joint..if you can't afford a car, don't drive one...everything needs maintenance.Wheel bearing? 2000 Impala?Why didn't you have them do the bearing while you were there? Then you would know.Wheel bearing? 2000 Impala?This happened to my 2003 Impala last year. I drove on it for maybe two days after I noticed the vibrating. grinding whenever I sped up or turned and my dad told me that I shouldn't have so I would guess you should do it pretty quick, I think it was like $110. My car mainly did it when I was going fast.Wheel bearing? 2000 Impala?It's hard to say...the ball bearings in these American cars suck...my friend has a Cavalier and has had bearings go bad in two different front wheels. The first time he drove around in it like that for a month or two, lol, then it got real bad (loud). So it can last a while but it depends on how bad it is, the position, everything. Let it go too long and you will really **** it up so just be careful, drive it slow, and you should def last til Thursday. Just make sure you get it taken care of then and don't delay it further.Wheel bearing? 2000 Impala?CV to meWheel bearing? 2000 Impala?Good deal on a bearing... cheap to put on.... what the hey. It's not like that hub assembly holds your wheel on or anything... go cheap. That's definately the best idea....Wheel bearing? 2000 Impala?it could be the cv joint or the wheel bearing.
I need to get my front wheel bearing fixed..who do i trust?
i bought my first car about 7 months ago. so far all ive had to do is change the oil, and i actually believe thats it. the place i go to is always friendly and nice to me. and they checked my problems in my car and told me i need to get my front wheel bearing fixed (he even showed me how the whole tire just wobbles, and its not supposed to do that)
but my girlfriend took her car there i guess and she had a tranny leak, and all they did was do a flush and refill it, and she said that they were stupid for not even noticing the leak cause even she could see it... and they also did a diagnostics on her car and didnt tell her her timing belt was bad, or battery was nearly dust.
shes telling me to go to her mechanic. but i dont know what to do. it seems like theres always someone who hates a shop, and someone who likes a shop. is replacing a bearing so difficult that i could be screwed if i go to the place i usually go to? i just want it done right cause its gonna cost me 300 dollars.
thing is tho she drives a 200 jetta, i drive a 95 camry. so im sure my car is much simplier to work on..I need to get my front wheel bearing fixed..who do i trust?if you trust this guy, then go to him......

Lose Wheel Bearing Question?
Hello,
I was recently told I have a lose wheel bearing, and it is very important for it to be fixed asap. I was quoted ~$160 for it, $100 for labor and $60 for parts. Is this reasonable? And is there any way to check myself if it is lose? The mechanics had also said I needed a alignment, but changed their minds when I informed them I had one 2 months ago when they recommended it. They also told me my car had to have a %26quot;high mileage%26quot; oil, and the oil change was $45 which seemed high. Because my car has odd sized tires, I just spent $160 dollars on a new tire (including labor) today and last december. Because of this I want want to know how dangerous/real this new wheel bearing problem might be, to be sure I'm not wasting money I don't have. Thanks!Lose Wheel Bearing Question?Jack up the tire that has a bad wheel bearing. When the wheel is off of the ground, wiggle it back and forth to see if there is any looseness. If there is looseness, then your wheel bearing is probably bad. That price is pretty accurate too.Lose Wheel Bearing Question?Without knowing what kind of car it is I can't really guess on the price. You sound a little skeptical of your mechanic, maybe you should look around and get a second opinion. I couldn't tell you the difference between high mileage oil and low mileage oil but I can tell you that oil costs alot more than it used to. It has tripled in five years. But I'm sure your car does not need high mileage oil. Oil's job is to get dirty. It just gets dirty quicker when your car is older. change your oil sooner.Lose Wheel Bearing Question?well, depending on where your mechainic is but it sounds like there trying to upsell you.. first if you had a lose wheel bearing you would feel a vibration, and you would hear a nose coming from the wheel area.. but it mostly sounds like your mechanic is trying to upsell your car,.. And im very surpised that its only 160.00 to do a wheel bearing.Lose Wheel Bearing Question?$160 for a new bearing installed is a gift do it now.

How do you change the front wheels bearings on a 2004 Grand Prix ?
I've changed the front wheel bearings on my front drive rabbit but wonder if it isn't easier on a GP. Are the bearings attached via a flange around the perimeter of the bearing ? Do they need to be pressed out and new ones pressed in ?
Thanks,How do you change the front wheels bearings on a 2004 Grand Prix ?Its a sealed hub/bearing assembly. The entire hub is replaced as a unit.
Remove the wheel and tire, remove the brake caliper and rotor, remove the CV axle nut, disconnect the ABS sensor wire, un-bolt the hub assembly from the back, attach slide hammer to front of hub assembly and whack away. Disconnecting the ball joint may give you more room to play. Installation is of course the reverse (without the slide hammer).

How do you change the front wheels bearings on a 2004 Grand Prix ?No they do not need pressed, they are a sealed bearing unit. There are retaining bolts around a flange, I believe there are three of them. Once you buy the bearings at the parts store you will see what I am talking about. It's an entire hub assembly with the bearing and lugs, etc. Take your caliper, caliper bracket, rotor, and axle nut off. The axle will will slide out of the splined hub, and then you simply unbolt it and unplug ABS if applicable. Its not hard to do at all, I've done a lot of them at work, I'm a mechanic. Good Luck!How do you change the front wheels bearings on a 2004 Grand Prix ?You'll need to take the rotor and caliper off to be sure. If there are fasteners, then you're in business, otherwise the knuckles will have to be pulled off and the old bearing pressed out at a machine shop.
How Do I Fix The Grinding/squeaking from right wheel?
I own a 2004 monte carlo LS (3.4). I recently changed the wheel and hub bearing, when i went to put the caliper back on the pads fell off so when i assembled everything i compressed the brake and cleaned and reasembled the pads, caliper, and rotors. Now when I drive I can hear a sorta grinding/ squealing that follows the rotation of the wheel exactly regardless of speed. The noise is still there when I brake and turn left or right. Any Ideas?How Do I Fix The Grinding/squeaking from right wheel?Remove the wheel you worked on and check to make sure nothing is rubbing that you touched. Clean and reset anything you can get to. Check the bearing too, make sure nothing came off or loose. May just be something simple.

driving and when i turn the wheel to the left it gets louder. is this a wheel bearing? i did jack the car up and checked the the wheel for play there isn't any. should i replace the wheel bearing? if so how hard is it to change thanks.I have a 2002 hyundai elantra 125000 mi i have a humming noise coming from the passenger side wheel area when?You definately have all of the symtoms of a wheel bearing before long you will probably see looseness in the bearing on that side!I have a 2002 hyundai elantra 125000 mi i have a humming noise coming from the passenger side wheel area when?Good possibility that it is a wheel bearing but if it is you will need the assistance of a front end shop because it is a sealed bearing that is pressed into a hub.Take it to a shop to get it diagnosed first and see what they would charge to replace it.

Wheel bearing 97 Acura cl?
I have a 97 acura CL 2.2 with 100 thousand miles. I recently bought it from someone else so I don't know what has been done and what hasn't. There is a growling noise. It is most noticeable when driving around 20 or 30 miles an hour, but it is noticeable at higher speeds as well. I tried to swerve from side to side to see which side the bearing was on, and the sound doesn't change. Had the car looked at by a couple of mechanics, one checked the wheels for play up and down (12 and 6) and couldn't find much if any.
There is also a clicking noise coming from somewhere when you turn and accelerate. It happens most often when turning left, and sometimes when turning right. Especially when accelerating from a stop and turning left like pulling out onto a road, at about a 45 degree angle.
There isn't any bad vibration, even at freeway speeds. Also it doesnt get better or worse with application of the brakes. I know the back brakes need work, but it doesn't sound like grinding; more of a howling.
I thought halfshafts and wheel bearing. Had firestone diagnose. They said transmission had spun a bearing, and thats where the axel noise was coming from too. I had the transmission rebuilt by a different shop for a lot less money. they said that the bearings in the tranny were good, clutch was burnt up, so rebuilt anyway.
Both the bearing noise, and the clicking noise are back, but at least now my tranny shifts smooth.
What's going on? One halfshaft was fairly new, but I heard a lot of remanufactured halfshafts are junk anyway and fail often. How can i tell which wheel bearing is bad? How can I be sure it's halfshafts? Do wheel bearings sometimes fail and the sound doesn't change when you load or unload the wheels? Help Please!Wheel bearing 97 Acura cl?ur bearing(hub) is the problem with the bearing noise the half shaft and bearing need to be changed at the same time.halfshaft will get rid of the clicking the bearing will get rid of the noise(change both sides at the same time)

Why my car wheels squeak when they turn?
95' Ford Contour 5 speed standard
Left wheel bearing needs to be replaced which i cant do cause of that machine. But when the car star moving slowly it squeaks as the wheels turn. I'm already trying to get my bearing replaced next week sometime but i'm wondering does this have to do with something major that will pretty total my car? I cant replace no driveshaft or no engine of any sort. i payed for what i got and the car was 750 dollars used to get me around where i gotta go. Besides maintenance problems on wear and tear like a wheel bearing, the car is actually a steal. But it squeaks but once i start to get up to like a good 10 miles per hour the noise goes away. How can i fix this? I'm only 19 and realized how poor i am so i been fixing my car on my own which has been saving me lots of money. Too bad i cant change the wheel bearing my self on these fordsWhy my car wheels squeak when they turn?It seems that your wheel bearings are bad.

Audi A4 Wheel Bearing problem...?
I have a 1999 Audi A4 2.8L V6. A couple of days ago weird clicking noise started coming out of my rear passenger side wheel area. I took it to a mechanic today and he told me it was my wheel bearing and that i need to change it? Can someone tell its the wheel bearing and that it has to be changed just by listening to the noise? Do I really have to get it changed? How much would it cost? the mechanic told me it would take 2 1/2 hours to change it. Is that really such a long process? Can you recommend what kind of wheel bearing I should purchase because they would charge me $130 just for the wheel bearing plus labor while Autozone had a wheel bearing for $70.
I might not know much about cars but that doesn't mean that anyone has the right to make fun of me or my questions. If you dont have a helpful answer then dont respond and keep your jokes to yourself. thanks.Audi A4 Wheel Bearing problem...?You can usually tell what is wrong just by listening to the noise. It could also be the CV Axles that are going bad.
As for time, that is quite long for changing a wheel bearing. A wheel bearing replacement (for one wheel) usually takes from 45min to 1 hr 30 min.
Regrading what bearing brand you should go with, I would suggest http://mibearings.com they have very good bearings (USA made) at very competitive prices. go to their front page, and fill out the form on the right. I would also mention the price quotes you got for the other companies.
I would not suggest Autozone bearings, they could be made in china. Check with the,Audi A4 Wheel Bearing problem...?I just had my wheel bearing replaced on my Audi Yesterday!
Yup, that is the noise for a bad wheel bearing. But what you need to figure out is if its coming from the Left Rear tire or the Right Rear tire. This will save time and money!
I bought my wheel bearing at www.blauparts.com
It was $45 for the part. With my mechanic, it took him an hour to replace. But of coarse he has been working on Audi's for 20 years so he can move fast! hah
So go to www.blauparts.com and the wheel bearing for the Audi A4 is only around $45.00
Good luck!uk hosting control there temperature

Locked up caliper? Or bad wheel bearing??
When I drive I hear a low rubbing sound within the car that sounds as if it is coming from a wheel. Some people have said it was a wheel bearing going bad because if I change lanes the tone of the rub will change too. I suspect it is a locked up brake caliper. Twice when I took it out of park and put the transmission in reverse, the car seemed to be locked up and then I heard a popping sound like the caliper just broke free. I am wondering if a bad wheel bearing would cause the wheel to lock up and make the same popping sound?? Any clues or advise as to how to determine which is bad?Locked up caliper? Or bad wheel bearing??I would say you have a real bad wheel bearing if it is popping like you say it is, take it to the shop and have them check the problem out before something leaves you stranded or catches fire from too much heat.Locked up caliper? Or bad wheel bearing??if it sounds like a %26quot;clunk%26quot; sound then it might be your bearings, but if it is a different sound. it might be your caliper, and you might need new roders [sp?] becuase that would mean your caliper is lose and its rubbing onto your roders and wearing them down. someone just had the same problem with their car.Locked up caliper? Or bad wheel bearing??A bad wheel bearing, a brake caliper, and if a front wheel drive a constant velocity joint (CV joint) can cause this grinding sound....most likely you have a dry worn out wheel bearing though.Locked up caliper? Or bad wheel bearing??In either even you should pull the wheel and inspect.. cuz either problem is gonna get you in deep CaCa eventually...
either is a pretty quick fix... though not cheap.. even if you have to replace the spindle... neither is a hard fix.. anyone that can work on a car can fix it in about an hour even if they are relativly a newbie...Locked up caliper? Or bad wheel bearing??one way is to jack up car put a shovel under front wheel and see if any movement in wheel' but the best bet is to take off wheel and check out bearingsLocked up caliper? Or bad wheel bearing??Jack up the car, spin the wheel and see if you can spin it by hand. If you can, pump the brakes, with it jacked up, and then get out and try to spin it by hand and see if there is any difference.
I would think that a locked up caliper wouldn't allow you to spin the wheel freely, so if you can spin the wheel while jacked up, and in neutral obviously, you will be able to hear the bad bearing, if that is in fact what it is.
Anyhow, good luck.

How important is a wheel bearing?
i have a wheel bearing passenger side of my s-10 starting to howl. pretty sure its toast. i do small maintenanceon my vehicles, changed a clutch a few years ago on my nissan. can i do this myself without much complication, special tools, and could i mess it upHow important is a wheel bearing?Not hard to do,but make sure you pack the new bearings with grease.I don't mean rub some grease on them,I mean PACK.If you don't it want be long before they seize and then you will have a problem.How important is a wheel bearing?I've changed many bearings in my life. If you have decent tools and are not afraid to get the book and follow the directions-go for it.How important is a wheel bearing?CakeHow important is a wheel bearing?Get a maintenance manual, your tools and have fun.How important is a wheel bearing?Yes you can do it. Yes you need a tool that will pack the new bearings with grease (easily and cheaply available at your local auto parts store). Yes you can mess it up. ;-) Just be careful not to over-tighten the nut that holds the bearing in.
Oh, and a wheel bearing is important. Actually, it's critical. I had one go bad and I kept driving on it (I was on a trip and in the middle of nowhere.). The wheel caught fire and burned the vehicle to the ground.
Fix it sooner rather than later though. A bad bearing can damage other components.

How do you get use to 100mm wheels on in-line skates after having 80mm wheels?
I have been in line skating for years. Completed around 6 in line marathons and wanted to upgrade my skates from my previous Salomon (that they do not make anymore :( ). I bought K2 with 100mm wheels and they are so uncomfortable in the boot not to mention I can not skate smoothly/at ease. What do I do? I am looking to just change the wheels and bearing in my old skates these are so awkward for me- any suggestions? Does the 100mm get better, I am a worse skater with these? Do I go to a smaller wheel size?How do you get use to 100mm wheels on in-line skates after having 80mm wheels?I bought a new pair of Salomon Vitesse III's after Salomon quit making them and a mail order store was closing them out. Salomons fit me better than K2s or Rollerblades. Second best in the fit for my foot shape (a bit wide) are the Rollerblades, then the narrower K2s.
Not much you can do with the fit. Unfortunately, the frames for the 100mm wheels probably have 7 1/2%26quot; between the mounting holes and your Salomons (if they were the upper models) probably have the older 6 1/2%26quot; spacing. If you can find some mounting slots on the frame that are witin the possible adjustment of the boots, you could mount the new frames to your Salomon boots.
My next skates may be the Bont SemiRace (http://www.bont.com/index.htm), *IF* they fit my feet well.
If the boots are biting you around the ankles, you can try EZ-fit booties (http://www.ezeefitsports.com/booties.htm They add neoprene padding around the ankle bones.
The more stable you were on your old skates, the less learning you will need to do on the 100s.
First, make sure that the frames are positioned correctly. You should be able to adjust them both at the heel and ball of the foot.
Ideally, they should extend about the same amount in front and behind the boot. Some frames have multiple slots for positioning them.
Next adjust the frame at the heel so that you have neutral balance from side to side. They should be easy to stand with the wheels straight up and you should be able to roll the ankles either inward or outward a bit.
Last, adjust the front of the frame to be approximetly aligned with the space between you big and second toe.
That should leave you with skates that want to stay up.
The 100s will be tippier and you may need to tighten up your boots a little more to compensate at first.
You could put the wheels from your old skates (assuming that they are 80mm or 84mm) on the larger frames to get used to being a little higher off the ground.Decorating the bedroom need some ideas How often do you wash your bed sheets

Does anyone know how to remove the wheel bearing locknut on a 4wd 1995 nissan pickup?
I really need to change the brake rotors, is there somekind of special tool to take this locknut off or is there a trick to turning it?Does anyone know how to remove the wheel bearing locknut on a 4wd 1995 nissan pickup?Once you get the small plate off with the two small screws the nut will be exposed. On the nut you will see two holes, just get a punch and stick it in one of the holes and use a hammer and tap it counter clockwise, you dont need any special tools for that.Does anyone know how to remove the wheel bearing locknut on a 4wd 1995 nissan pickup?remove cotter key.Does anyone know how to remove the wheel bearing locknut on a 4wd 1995 nissan pickup?Some tool websites indicate that there is a special socket with 2 or 4 tabs that extend from the sockets end.

I thought it was the transmission, but it's the wheel bearing?
My car, an automatic, didn't seem to change into the 5th gear. I took it to Aamco this morning to have the transmission checked out, and I fully expected they would tell me I need to have my transmission repaired or replaced.
Instead, they said it's the wheel bearing and that my transmission is just fine. My questions are:
1. How much will this cost me, ball park figure? My car is a 1997 BMW 528.
2. Is it possible that a wheel bearing can make the car feel and sound like it's not changing gears?I thought it was the transmission, but it's the wheel bearing?1. Between $500 to $800. These are sealed bearings and must be hydraulically pressed in.
2. Yes, the noise they will generate will make it sound as if the last gear has not engaged.
Get this done ASAP as the heat generated by the bad bearing will cause other parts to be damaged. Example, the lugs will break off when you try to remove the lug nuts to change the tire.I thought it was the transmission, but it's the wheel bearing?1. labor wise id charge you 3.0 hrs for a front bearing
and 3.5hrs for a rear. not including 1.0 hr diagnosis time.
2. if you see the rpm's dip when they normally would in 5th gear, then your trans is fine.
Instead, they said it's the wheel bearing and that my transmission is just fine. My questions are:

Replacing the front wheel bearing requires removing the wheel, then the brake caliper must be lossened and relocated, then remove the brake rotor. Then you must remove the wheel hub, which requires a large metric socket that most shade tree mechanics don't have.

Front Hub/Wheel Bearing on 1999 Pontiac Sunfire Question?
I have a 1999 Sunfire with a 2.2 engine automatic transmission. The front driver wheel bearing/hub is beginning to squeal - How hard is this to change? Is there any specific information that I need to know before doing it?Front Hub/Wheel Bearing on 1999 Pontiac Sunfire Question?The front hub assm. is very easy to change. After getting the wheel off remove the spindle nut (the large nut in the center of the hub). The disconnect the ABS wires ( if equiped). Now the only thing left is to remove the mounting bolts. You must be carful when reinstalling the mounting bolts because if the bolts are over tightened the backing plate will crush the bearing and before you know it you will be replacing it all over again.Front Hub/Wheel Bearing on 1999 Pontiac Sunfire Question?not hard, you should clean the rust off the knuckle before installing new one and watch out for wheel speed sensor if equiped, you might have to remove it but thats not a big dealFront Hub/Wheel Bearing on 1999 Pontiac Sunfire Question?First of all usually the Hub doesn't make a squealing noise, should sound like a low humming at first then becomes a louder grinding noise...Do these test for me...whichever wheel you think it is...jack it up and see if you can move the tire from side to side or either up and down...if the hub is bad the tire will feel loose...If it is OK, the the squeal might be coming from your brake pads..You have a wear indicator that lets you know it is time to change your brake pads..Look for grooves cut into you rotor...If you need more help email me back..music myspace windows vista
How to confirm if the wheel bearing needs a replacement?
Thinking that it's the tyre's noise, I changed my tyres. I was later told that it's the wheel bearing problem. I took a second opinion from another mechanic, but was told there's no problem with the wheel bearing. Can anyone advise?

Use safety jacks also. Spin the tire and listen for bearing noise. It usually sounds like roller blades rolling on the ground. If you hear that noise it is time to replace the bearings.

Is this a bad wheel bearing?
My car shakes pretty bad when I'm driving. Its more of a wobble at 20/30 mph, but its more of a violent shaking at 40/50/60 mph. I jacked the front end up and shook the tires back and forth and it was a little loose. Not much, but there was some %26quot;leeway%26quot; with a faint knocking sound. Now, Im pretty sure the tire was the only thing moving, not the tie rod (thats the only thing i could see without taking the tire off). Is there anything else that could be the culprit besides the wheel bearing? If so, how can you find out?Yes it does. When I'm on the expressway going 55-60 mph, I'll try to keep it within that range or else if I let off the gas its tends to shakes slightly more. It seems as if I keep my foot on the gas, then it wont be as bad of a vibration as if i would let off. Is it a pain to change out the bearing yourself?

Number two the should with the tire on support the lower control arm and load it with all the vehicle weight.

The trouble you are describing sound more like a tire with a separated belt or possibly a C/V joint that is sticking. With both front wheels off the ground have someone start the car and pull in drive. Have them release the brakes and you look at both front tires. They should be smooth with no big bumps or side ways movement in them. If they have movement one way or the other it could be the tires or possibly a bent rim. If all seems good then you could have an axle shaft sticking.

Wheel Bearings?
How do you change the wheel bearing in a 1999 ford Escort front wheel drive,is it easy or are they pressed on and have to be serviced somewhere.Wheel Bearings?Well you need the special tools to do the work. Such as a big inpack wrench. A Slap-hammper with wheel adapter to put the fub apart. Bearing puller. And the proper tools to put it back together. Otherwise the drive axle could damage. And you need the tools to remoce the races. And installing tool or a press with the proper dies. The are best done in a shop with right tools. There are some model you hap to replace whole unit. The there is a real safety question. Cause you hap to take presure off the a fram.Wheel Bearings?if i'm not mistaken, the front end bearings are part of the hubs, meaning that they are pressed in the hubs. U have to remove the rotors, and also remove the steering knuckles. then send the steering knucles to a machine shop to have the bearings replaced.Wheel Bearings?Hydraulic press is needed.

I'm changing the rear wheel bearing in my 2007 250ex what would be the proper way to do it and If you have to take the axle out how is it doneChanging wheel bearings in a 250ex?You need a bearing removal tool.

Rear wheel bearing?
can any1 give me instructions on how to change a rear wheel bearing on my 1996 pontiac voyager minivan?Rear wheel bearing?Pontiac makes a minivan?
ADDED:
It's a complete hub assembly. +/- $80.00 each.
and just unbolts from the rear axle.
ADDED:
Rear drum.
Remove the wheel.
Remove the brake drum.
Remove the bolts from the BACK side of the axle.
It may be a pain in the @$$ to slide out as it probably rusted it's self in the axle tube.
Then reverse the procedure.Rear wheel bearing?1st off you're gonna need to buy the whole hub assembly not just the bearing. that will cost around 85ish
is it disc or drum brakes? probably disc. so:
1st: take off your tire
2nd: remove your brake caliper assembly (theres two bolts holding your caliper together on the back side one on top one on bottom and if i remember right its an allen bit)
3rd: remove your brake rotor
4th: remove your drive axle nut
5th: the hub is held into the housing by three tabs each with a bolt in it, the front part of the hub (that you can spin) itself has three holes in it, THERE IS ONLY ONE HOLE OUT OF THE THREE THAT THE BOLT WILL COME OUT OF ITS CALLED THE %26quot;PEEKHOLE%26quot;!!! so you will need to spin the front part of the hub so it lines up with the bolts each time you take one out
6th: slide the hub out of its housing (make sure your whole rear end is level it will make removing the hub easier and not doing so could damage the splines on your axle, etc...
7th: put your new hub back on and redo all this crap
oh make sure to be careful with your brake caliper assembly when your ready to put your caliper back on your going to need to depress the plunger back inside the caliper with a 3 inch %26quot;c clamp%26quot; also make sure you dont be too rough with the caliper because you dont want to mess up the sensor position.

How Can I tell if my front wheel bearing is bad on a 1992 ford explorer and how do i change it?
It is on the front passenger side and i have aftermarket lockin hubs put on a year ago. There seems to be a rubbing noise coming from that side and when i lock in the four wheel drive it gets worse any ideas?How Can I tell if my front wheel bearing is bad on a 1992 ford explorer and how do i change it?Sometimes the manual locking hubs can make noise. My warns were making more of a clicking sound and I look the lock ring off the outside of the outer axle and this took care of the noise. That ring is not really necessary because, for there to be a problem the axle would have to slide out a full 6 inches to disengage the hub, if this happens you have something far worse to worry about. A bearing noise will be a rough or %26quot;roar%26quot; noise at approx. 30mph and up. It may seem to go away at higher speeds, but it is usually masked by wind and tire noise.How Can I tell if my front wheel bearing is bad on a 1992 ford explorer and how do i change it?it would be a good idea to take your hub apart, see how much dirt and debree is inside, when you lock the hub in it moves internaly, and may be grinding up dirt.How Can I tell if my front wheel bearing is bad on a 1992 ford explorer and how do i change it?to check a wheel beering jack the vehicle up so the tire is off the ground put a jack stand under vehicle for safety grab the tire one hand on top one hand on the bottom rock the tire if you have play in the wheel then you need to check out wheel bearing(don't rock tire side to side).Take apart hub inspect the hub assembly also inspect the axle

Can you please give me advice on how to change out wheel bearings on a Mitsubishi Eclipse?
I am working on a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse and the drivers side front wheel bearing is bad. I have taken off everything brakes, control arm lower ball joint, axle, etc. but I can't get the wheel bearing out. There are four bolts that's holding the assymbly in that I took out already. What is the proper method for getting out the wheel bearing? I don't want to screw up because this is my only vehicle. I have heard of people pressing the bearing out with a arbor press. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks in advance.Can you please give me advice on how to change out wheel bearings on a Mitsubishi Eclipse?the best advise I can give you from experience...Is to buy your bearings and take the old and new parts to a machine shop....They will have all the tools necessary to do the job the right way...They shouldnt really only charge you about 25 dollars, but you will save more in the long run....Can you please give me advice on how to change out wheel bearings on a Mitsubishi Eclipse?you need a bearing puller, it has hooks that go on the back of the bearing and a threaded center piece that you hook a wrench/ beaker bar onto and it pushes on the axle end to pull the bearing out. they sell these at sears but they are not really cheap. you also need a press to put the new bearing back on. the press is really expensive or if you can fabricate a bottle jack w/ bearing sleeve you can press it back on.

I am working on a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse and the drivers side front wheel bearing is bad. I have taken off everything brakes, control arm lower ball joint, axle, etc. but I can't get the wheel bearing out. There are four bolts that's holding the assymbly in that I took out already. What is the proper method for doing this. I don't want to screw up because this is my only vehicle. I have heard of people pressing the bearing out with a arbor press. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks in advance.Can you please give me some advice on how to change out wheel bearings?those type of sealed bearing need to pressed out. take it to machine shop or a gas station with service bay to make things easy
or you can try to heat it up by a blow torch then use a socket and hammer to knock it out.
to place in new bearing, put everything in the freezer for overnight
your best bet is a press.....less headacheCan you please give me some advice on how to change out wheel bearings?I'm not 100% sure,but there should be a bearing cap in the center of the brake rotor/hyb.Use a slip-joint pliers to remove cap,there will be a cotter pin going through the slotted nut.Remove pin,remove nut,rotor/hub should just about fall off.Remove inner and outer bearings,clean and reinstall new bearings with fresh grease.This is the normal procedure for a rear wheel drive car,yours is front wheel drive I assume,might be different.The library should have a repair manual if this wrong.Have fun.Can you please give me some advice on how to change out wheel bearings?A quick search at Advance shows they sell them as a bearing and hub assembly...the cheaper of the two there goes for $93...I don't know why you took off the control arm and ball joint, all you have to do is remove the brake caliper and axle nut (very tight), slip the whole hub off, and put the new one on...tightening the axle nut is very important. Oh yes, the four bolts you mention should be the holding bolts for the strut assembly, that's where it actually attaches to the suspension.apply make up sparingly mobile phone viruses

If someone else did the work, take the car back and explain that the light came on right after they did the job and they should look at it without charging anything.
Either way, if you cannot get that light to go out, you need to get your car to a shop. If your anti-lock brake light is on that means that your system is not working right and it needs to be worked on to get your brakes working right.

How much does it cost to change wheel bearings / Cv Joint ?
I bought a honda civic coupe recently .
yesterday i was driving my mom back from work , and as i was parking , i turned my wheels and i could hear a screeching or shreiking sound coming from the Right Front Wheels .
i did some research on Yahoo answers and it seems that
this could have been a defective wheel bearing or a cv joint .
i called the service center and the manager told me it could be the mud thing making that sound , and he adviced me to check tire pressure . So i did and seemed the air pressure was low on the Right front wheel and put some air in . But the sound didn't %26quot;go away%26quot; . it sounds like 2 thin metal pieces sliding each other ( it's a high pitched shreiking/ screeching sound) i dn't understand what's going on . I dn't have a job right now , looking for a job , should i take it to the honda service center where i bought it ( will it be covered ) , or any service center ...
I was wondering if that exactly is the problem , and how much will it cost me to fix itHow much does it cost to change wheel bearings / Cv Joint ?I don't think is the cv joints or the bearings, since the bearings will sound (while you're driving) like you are driving a pick-up truck with huge wheels on it, (you know the sound they make)
And if it's the cv joints it will only and ONLY when you turn to either side (clack, clack, clack noise), if it's screeching noise it's the brake pads, check to see if the disks are smooth, that could be the problem, if they 're not change the pads, that should fix the problem!, BUT if they tell you to change the cv joints it's about $70 labor, plus the parts, each side, if you don;t have the money just tell them that you want the affected side (even though the Honda service they'll try to tell you you need to do both) DO ONLY THE ONE, then when you have the money do the other one, i don't think is the bearings...
But whatever you do don't take to the dealer it's gonna cost you a lot!!!, if it's not under warranty off-course.
What you can do to make sure it's not the cv-joints is this:
Turn the wheels to one side and look inside (the other side where you put the nuts that hold the tire) and you'll see a large piece of rubber like a cup, that's called the %26quot;boot%26quot; they'll have a metal ring that holds it in place, if that's loose or you see grease all over it, that's the problem, but like i said before i think is your brake pads. GOOD LUCK!!!How much does it cost to change wheel bearings / Cv Joint ?Replace wheel bearings...cheap - CV Joints...very expensive, Tonto!How much does it cost to change wheel bearings / Cv Joint ?If it's under warranty, you ought to be covered. It sounds more like a wheel bearing than the CV joint.
Check the rubber boot between the wheel and the transaxle. Look around the boot as well. These things can get a hole and throw grease out. Look for a pattern of grease around the boot. If there is a hole, yes it's the CV joint and it' gonna be expensive. I've never done a Honda CV, but you're looking at $350 +

How do you change the wheel bearings?
I have a 2001 BMW 325i. I believe that we need to change the wheel bearing (passenger rear). You can check my other questions in case the diagnosis is incorrect...(help??)
Does anyone have any diagrams, instructions on how to change them?
Is it necessary to have them %26quot;pressed%26quot; on/off? (that would determine if I could do this at home or not.
Please help, this is my sons car and he is in the military and doesn't have time or cash to spend on it. So mom %26amp; dad are trying to help them out.
Any advice or websites will be appreciated.
Thanks,
stormphyreHow do you change the wheel bearings?You described the sound as %26quot;something dropped and dragged? %26quot;. A wheel bearing would usually make a growling sound, gradually get worse, and have to be really bad to lock up the wheel- unusual.
Many BMWs with disc brakes in the rear had a separate parking brake which was a drum brake inside the brake disc. If it's rear discs, look for the parking brake cable. If the cable is attached to the brake caliper, never mind (I assume you've tried removing the caliper)
If the cable goes inside the backing plate behind the wheel, you might try removing the brake disc and look at the small drum brake behind it.
Replacing rear wheel bearings requires too many special tools and experience. I believe it'd be Independent rear suspension? You may be able to remove the swing arm and take it to the shop (save towing). Call ahead first - they may prefer to do it on the car.
Cars with solid axles, the rear axle and backing plate usually is held on by four bolts on end of axle. It varies- repair manual helpful for that kind of thing.How do you change the wheel bearings?Take the advise of the above answer This is something that if you don't know what your doing you can cause more damage. Its a job that more trouble than it's worth I have done one {NO FUN}How do you change the wheel bearings?The rear knuckle will have to come off, and be taken into a shop that can replace the bearing.
That is provided it is the outer bearing.
The problem is more likely the axle. CV joints fail more often then the bearings.How do you change the wheel bearings?HI
Yes a rear bearing is pressed on to the axle.. are you sure its a bearing.. I can't see a 8 year old BMW having that kind of problem. those usually last for years and years.. unless run with out oil..
good luck
timHow do you change the wheel bearings?that,s a front wheel drive so if it,s got disc brakes on the back all you do is remove the caliper and rotor, take a torx bit and take out the bolts and the bearing will come off.How do you change the wheel bearings?If you do not know how to do it do not do it yourself. Doing it wrong could cause a horrible accident. Save the money, there are shops on most bases that will give him a good deal.How do you change the wheel bearings?The wheel bearings on the rear of your 2001 BMW 325i are pressed off and on.
You will need a hydraulic press for this operation.
It still is a DIY job. I suggest purchasing new wheel bearing(s) from http://mibearings.com (fill out the form on the right)
Once you get your new wheel bearing, you can take your old hub (with the old bearing) and the new bearing into a local repair shop. They will press out the old bearing and press in the new for much less than a complete job.
You can then take the hub with the new bearing and put it back into your BMW.
The rest is just wrench work.
