Hello hello guys!

A bit of a dillema. My wheel bearings have been failing for quite some time im guessing as i just brought the car and they havent been fixed or replaced by the previous owner, just wandering if this does any damage to the rotor or any other part of the car if u keep them on even though theyre failing??

thanks in advance!

well they get noisey long before they die which is the good news.

the bad new is, if you really do leave it long enough to fail it will sieze, instantly locking the wheel to the hub. depending on how fast you are going it could be real interesting (I've seen a few race cars with seized wheel bearings).

the other bad news is they are a relitively expensive (compared to say a falcon/commodore) and need to be pressed in and out, which makes it a job for a workshop

Changed a couple of rear ones on the mates 300zx. Cartridge type bearing $150-200!

Definately need a press to do them, as you have to press out the hub spline.

Inside these bearings they use a plastic bearing cage!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
