Wheel bearing change

[unrealrocks]

Took my car in for wheel balancing the other day and the guy said I should get my front wheel bearings changed ASAP and it'll also sort out the crunching noise I get from moving the car on full lock (both ways).

Just wanted to check the crunching sound was coming from there? Its definately not from the wheels catching the arches.

Also does anyone have the part number handy for the wheel bearings (or bearing kit) I will need? Or a GSF part number will suffice (as thats where I'll prob get them from, lol)

Off to go change my rear engine mount now, lol.
Cheers!

the crunching is def something else, suspension most likely. Nothing to worry about, it's the famous clio "knocking" . There are alot of topics on here, also the sticky.

Really dont think youre bearing have gone unless you've done a lot of miles 80 + ?

if its the bearing it will make a whining noise when your driving... sounds more like fubarred CV joint or worst case scenario diff issue...

I'm glad its not just me who thinks its a weird thing to say my bearings are the problem.

I will have to investigate some more

BTW - the car has done 85k
