ok well i was driving around and i notice a loud noise coming from the driver side front wheel and it vibrates pretty bad, i know its not the axels and i had a friend check it out and say it was the driver front bearing, well i dont know how to fix it nor the price for one so can someone give me a little advise

thanks

 

PM "lead" on how to fix....I'm pretty sure its a BITCH GL

 

thanks for the info......any other info is greatly appreciated

 

it is a mother fucker if you don't have the right tools.... that bearing is in there. My best suggestion is to take the entire knuckle off and take it over to napa and have them press it out and then press in a new one. It is possible to hammer it out but VERY difficult without the right size tools. so its like 40 bucks for the part and however much it cost to press it out and press the new one back in.

If you know the user "Bill" on the site, he has a press and might let you use it for a fee. Also, in the past I have just removed the hub (3 bolts and it's off) and brought it to Just Brakes here in St. Pete and they pressed a new one in for $20 bux. It was worth it for me. If you have a place for it, Harbor frieght has a 12 ton a-frame press for $99, then you could do it for your friends. Heck, charge em $20 a bearing and you made your money back right there. I'll let you know if I end up buying one, lol.

Also the search feature is a great feature of this site, best I've seen. This has been covered quite a few times among a multitude of other general automotive maintenance topics. Just remember this site has been around over 5 years, most things that will happen to your car aren't "Unique"

Here's the link to the press, cuz I'm felling nice today. 1 week vacation.

Might be less of a hassle to let jimmy do it afterall, especially if hell come to you and do it, weve done like 4 in the past 2 weeks lol.

 

ahhhhhhhh your car is gonna fall apart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

kill your self asshole

 

I had the same problem on my Si, That's what kept killing my axles within a week...bad bearing.
If your not familiar with the work involved,.....Don't attempt it.
Learn from my mistakes
PM me if you decide to have a shop do it, I'll tell you where I got mine done.....Cheap and quick
