wheel bearing!

[rockonla]

After changing my tires, the wheel bearing suddenly decided it needed to be changed and yes i think this is starting to scare me a lil wee bit. all this parts needs to be changed i guess. so, how much would that cost me? i saw in the archive that it is about 155 to 220 for the front and 75 for the rear.should i change all four terus? daze and confused ni..haihhh

just change one that is giving way. Rear wheel bearings are considerably cheaper than front ones. Good luck.

I was given advise to change only when spoilt. But after going thru one round of all front n back bearing. I'll give this advise. Bite the bullet n change all. If not it will affect even the new onea that is installed.

Cheers,

Bro i changed my front ones few months ago at RM250 each (incl labour). Brand is SKF.

You change only the bearing or does it come with the wheel hub together, as i know e30 front bearing come together with the wheel hub.

 

[BobTheBuilder]

I changed only the bearing bro. So far so good.

 

[bmwjackiee36]

Do you have the bearing part number for E30?

 

[BobTheBuilder]

I don't have it bro. Sorry. I changed it at Optimum, so they ordered it for me.

i just changed mine yesterday. cost me RM600 including labour for front side. damn mahal. but it is the best price i can get here in lumut, other shop quoted me RM350 for per side. brand FAG i think.

 

[BobTheBuilder]

RM600 is not bad bro. I told my mech to get the cheapest ones, which is not bad coz it's SKF.

 

[rockonla]

other than vibration, what else is the tale tale sign of the bearing failing eh?

 

[kgb]

I'd expect uneven tyre wear.

also:

when you see one of your wheels overtaking you, its most probably failed.

 

[bmwjackiee36]

U will get SKF @ RM240 per piece at JB....

Rm600 with labour is cheap....

a droning sound..

 

[dpointt]

got mine changed too when the droning came end of last year

not sure though if anyone notice this, but previously my front wheel brakes gives an 'EEEEEEEEEEEE" sounds when stopping
even after I replaced the brake disc and brake pads brand new...

incredibly the sound dissappeared when I had the new wheel bearings changed
guess the wheels are more aligned, so for those having sleepless nights due to the brake squeaks; do check your wheel bearing too! cheers

yesterday goes to replacement front wheel bearing...1 side is RM120.1 set mean 240.with labour charge top up RM30.

Do advice what type of bearing you change, as it seems reasonable, as e30 front bearing come with the whole hub. Do you change the whole hub with the bearing or the bearing only.

Please advice brand and part no if possible.

thanks
