 wheel bearings
Mann, i'm have wheel bearing issues bad. I went to a shop in lb and they said i could get the fronts for $250 and the rears for $325. The sh+t dont sound right to me and i was wondering if anybody can help me out with some 411 on where i can get some bearings for a cheaper price, if possible.

 Re: wheel bearings
Breaking the bolts loose can possibly give you trouble. Putting a 4 foot jack handle around a ratchet should solve that though. Other than that, self explanatory.

 Re: wheel bearings
If you've changed brakes you can change wheels bearings.

 Re: wheel bearings
okay i went to this place brake and alignment place in long beach, very good place for suspension problems. Well make a long story short, its not my bearings, its my tires. both rear are uneven and the fronts need a new tire rod. the guy told me if the tired are uneven it can sometime make a noise that sound like the bearing is going bad. This guy been in business for many years so i'll get the tires and see if he know his stuff and let ya know what happends, thx for all the info everyone, still a noob but learning everyday

 Re: wheel bearings
Are your tires bald? If not and you are on a budget, you should be able to get away with only replacing the tie rod.

 Re: wheel bearings
^^^This has happened to me before. One of the wieghts fell off of the rear driver's side rim, sounded like a bad wheel bearing. Rebalanced the tire, and fixed the problem.
