wheel bearing

hi guys

My rear wheel bearing is shot on my 172 has anyone had one collapse on them???

And has anyone bought rear disks/pads and bearing from renault and at what cost??

thanks in advance

they do get stupidly loud before they collapse. on my mums 172 it sounded like a train was following behind.

But then its not an expensive thing to get fixed an i'd always have it in the back of my mind

just buy a new bearing and get it pressed in.. £30

I had my N/S/R bearing replaced on my clio yesterday at a local garage. It cost me £106, although the mechanic did say that a large amount of his work is rear wheel bearing replacements on renaults, so it seems to be a fairly common problem

Anyway, mine had got so loud that I had to have it replaced, it sounded like you were flying an aeroplane, not driving a car!
