Damn wheel bearings!!!!
Since I bought the car with about 74K miles on it in late 2010 I have replaced the left rear bearing twice and the right once. The right sounds like it is starting to go again. When I did the left for the second time, Nate had suggested replacing the hub too so I did that. I also replaced the grease with Redline grease but I am not sure that was necessary as Timken claims they pack them now with the proper grease. I also don't know if I did a particularly good job. So I guess I will replace the hub with the right bearing this second time around on the right side. Maybe sitting for a year contributed to this or maybe it is because I didn't replace the hub the first time but it is damned frustrating. Hopefully I am done with this crap.
Anyone know how I can get a bearing and hub quickly? Do most dealers carry them or am I going to be forced to wait until they come from a warehouse somewhere?
