Wheel Bearing Sound Travel

[tommysbeast]

Before you go spending heaps on wheel bearings, i would put it on stands or a 2 post hoist and run it up in gear, use a screwdriver or stethescope on hte hub to determine what is the problem. I seriously doubt a wheel bearing has gone at 45,000km, even 100,000 is fairly unusual, but not unheard of

+3hours to press one in is a bit steep. Should be able to comfortably do it in 1.5

Ok - good idea I will get this done.

Anyone recommend a mechanic in Northwest Sydney? Castle Hill or Blacktown area?

Just heard back from the mechanic who put it on the hoist and confirmed it is the front driver side wheel bearing.

Local Nissan dealer have two in stock, and quoted me $222 ex gst - going to pick one up now.

Booked in to Pedders tomorrow to change it for me. They quoted me $100 if I brought them the hub or $200 if I just bring the car in.

Done - car drives nice and smooth now, no whine.. just the turbo

40210-AL800 bearing replaced FLHS.

Very quite

Lifetime use should be in the region of eg 500,000km or more

I'm assuming you mean 50,000km.
