18362, possible wheel hub bering gone? Help please! Posted by RxR_Eclipse, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Alright guys. I can hear a rumbling noise comming from the passenger side of the car. Here is the kicker. When I turn LEFT just slightly the noise goes away. When I turn RIGHT it gets louder. This only happens when I get up to 30mph +. I spoke with a shop and they thought it was classic symptom's of bad wheel hub berings. I priced them out today and they are at around $100. My questions are as follows. Do you think it is the front or the rear? I jacked up the the car and pulled on both of them and the front one wiggled a bit. (More than the driver side for sure). The back one did not budge a bit. If it is not that then what? Has anyone had this happen before?
BTW I am lowered (about 1.5 in on sprint sports), tokiko illum's, 15$ camber mod with no tire wear for the past year and a half. The front has never worn.
TIA KJ

yup! sounds like a bad wheel bearing. Its around $160 from dealer, and its a dealer only item (for fronts). the rear ones are available at auto parts places which go around $100. Its a PITA to replace if the axel nut and axel splines are rusted in the hub, other than that its a very simple job.
good luck:thumbsup

mine was a PITA. The rear was easy, but the front was another story. Splines suck. Raise each wheel and see if it jiggles. mine looked like it was going to fall off before i replaced it.

I got the front on done but still have the rumbling>!>!!>! Must be the rear that is bad??? I can't wiggle it and it has NO movement? Any other idea's guys? And YES the front was a PITA! Good news is I did not do that work for nothing. The front one was going to go bad. It was really rough to move.
