Wheel bearing

(1/3) > >>

Syrag64:
I think I have a front (i think) bearing going (rumbling droning noise) how easy is it to do myself?

Johnny_tro:
Did mine few days ago........not really difficult just tricky!!

Key < having the right tools to hand. I'm not a mechanic, took me 3 hours to do.

Looking at £100 for hub (has the bearing on) and average garage £40-45 to fit.

Syrag64:
I've seen hubs on ebay for £60 - worth getting?

Johnny_tro:
? Long as there decent.

I spent the extra few quid, as I do lot of mileage and do not want to do it again. Like people say buy cheap buy twice. What make, model do you have? mileage is on the car?

Make sure you get the one with FOUR bolts!! Not the triangle one with 3!!


Nooooo!

Syrag64:
Mines an 07 Gti Manual (if that makes a difference)

Is it worth doing both sides at same time? Or just the one thats rumbling?
