SlimKlim Wrote:Scotty, thoughts on replacing the hubs vs replacing just the bearings? Hubs for both sides will run about $80-90, bearings will run about $40. It seems like we could save at least some labor, and honestly it's the scariest noise I've ever heard a bad wheel bearing produce, and I've experienced quite a few, so I'm wondering if it's wise to just replace the whole hub assembly.
I've been poking around for a decent DIY but everyone's goddamn photobucket account is over the limit and reading text is only so helpful when you've never torn into this kind of car before.
For the rear, hubs vs bearings is literally the same amount of work + four bolts.
