wheel bearing question

[Fortune]

Hello i got question about my front wheel bearings. i am pretty sure my one of my front wheel bearings has broke, there is a noise when i get up to 30+ and it get quieter or goes when i turn left, which bearing is it most likely to be? and how much am i looking at in a garage for it to be fixed or is it possible to do it myself?

Make sure its not the rears!

Quieter when left will more than liekly be your driver's side bearing.

Wouldn't attempt it yourself without a press tbh. Where are you loacated?

its not the rears just hadf them done lol

could be still if cheap bearings were used, or not torqued correctly. It does sound more like a front though

 

[Scrooge]

Or if the rear spacers weren't put back in lol

 

[Fortune]

near cardiff, im pretty sure its the front seems the rears have recently been done and the noise was still there straight after having the rears done lol

I'd take it to a specialist mate, not sure who your closest are but it's the best option.

I think thats my best option to ill call in my local where i usually go for anything in a bit and see when they it me in lol

If you have the tools and are handy you could buy a bearing and take the front hub or hubs off and take them to your friendly garage who will press the old ones out and press the new ones in for a few quid,if not a garage will charge roughly £60/£70 a side depending on garage of course

ok thanks 60/70 and labor on top? i'd be looking at then?

No thats with labour,the bearings are around £20+, mind labour will cost twice as much at a main dealer
