Rear bearings. Please help.

[J22TYR]

Few days ago a humming/drone started coming from the rear my 172, so got a mate to check it out & he diagnosed it as the bearing. Am I able to just get a new bearing or is it integral to the disc like my mate thought it might be?

cheers.

You can get the bearing pressed out of the disc, and replace it. Or you could just buy a new set of rear discs with them already in and whack those on, like I did today. It was about £44 for 1 wheels bearing, or £98 for a pair of rear discs, much better value seeing as I needed both rear bearings.

Buy genuine IMHO. Heard of too many problems with aftermarket ones.

Always sound advice that!

Excuse my ignorance but what IMHO? Haha

thing is I had new brakes discs, pads & bearings done on the rear back in march. Surely they shouldn't of gone already? Tempted to go back to the garage & argue the toss with them and see if they'll sort it free of charge? Think ill have a leg to stand on or will they just say these things happen etc?

IMHO: In My Honest Opinion.

The garage will probably tell you to bugger off. Were they genuine ones before?

It would be interesting to see if the garage put the washers back behind the new discs/bearings. Or if they were missing in the first place. If they were/are then thats why they've failed quickly!

My rear bearings are going already too, new discs with bearings fitted back in March. Non OE fitted, so I rang the parts guy at Renault I know and he can do a set of discs with bearings pressed in for £98.50. For a laugh I asked him how much for just the bearings, it worked out only £4 cheaper than the discs..... No brainer

 

[J22TYR]

I have no idea if they were/are genuine parts. TBH wouldn't have a clue what to look out for. Anybody got a link for genuine renault bearings with or without discs I'm not fussed.

Speak to Adam @ Renault Wolverhampton (trader on here) for genuine parts.

 

[Tony Hunter]

I very much doubt that a garage would use genuine discs etc. They just seem to phone gsf or whoever are the cheapest at the time.

You should be able to tell from the invoice you had.

I would never fit anything else but Renault stuff, for the very reason you have above.

When I changed mine yesterday, there were no washers behind the disc/bearing. Looked like some crap rubber things had been stuck in there. Good job I ordered them from George at the same time as the discs/bearings!

I'll be dissapointed when i take my rear discs off to not find the deflector washers behind them, they were missing on my last Clio as well.
