When it seizes you're in trouble.

Get it changed.

if its bad enough it can melt the end of ur axle, and ur wheel will come off on the hwy.. fun stuff!! lol, its cheap so might as well change it

karma

how much are the bearings ?... i would rather get mine changed too ..

Ken_Masters

How much should I expect to pay to get a wheel bearing replaced and do they usually just change the entire hub assembly?

fliptEG

its approx 400 for both fronts that parts and labour, non abs

wheel bearings themselves are pretty cheap...they are like 80bucks a pop, genuine honda/acura... so your paying for the labour, and yeah generally its a job that'll run you around 400 for the fronts when all is said and done as someone mentioned... you can try and to it yourself, but you better know someone with a bearing press...

now what makes a loud clunk when u hit the brakes and turn? the bearing? cv shafts, or ball joints?

Must be that time of the year, i'm having the same problem. A clunking , thumping kind of sound while driving from the front passenger side.

From what i can gather it can be any of those 3 things (bearing, cv shafts, or ball joints).

Guess there will be a few of us crawling under our cars this week.

yep! i get clunks on mine when i brake or take corners..Im thinking ball joints....but i have warentee on the shafts neways..so im replacing those again anyways..takes about 15 min..so meh. I heard ball joints go quick if u take corners HARRRRD! so Ooopsie.

FuzzyLS BRO

check the ball joints, i had one go out on me on the hwy when i was going about 140km/h. not fun stuff. if the car is older, change them, it'll save you alot of coin from fixing everything after it brakes.

finally found the right thread... if the axle is in bad condition, how much would it cost to fix the axle and the wheel bearings... actually ill answer the question for the wheel beerings its 400 for everything, but how much to replace the axle?

loverboi

also what causes the wheel bearings to go?

Solid GSR YO

ahem "already there"

there are 3 ways of saying this all with a different meaning

there = as in a place eg: over there in the corner

their = person = this pizza is theirs

the're = as in they are, the're going to the store

hopefully i cleared that up for you

dc24me

what?

its me.. mario

they're


anyways...... wheel bearings.. yeah you want to change those as the worse they get, the more loose your steering will feel.
