Title: Front bearings went out
Post by: Magnum Magna on July 15, 2011, 03:47:22 AM
Not related to the brake pads.

There was a noise on the front end.  The sound was similar to a sound of mud throwing from the tire and hitting the fender. I did an inspection but did not see anything.  It was not all the time but just every now and then.  I had been planning on replacing the brake pads and was hoping the noise was related to the caliber hitting the fender.  With the new pads the sound was still there but much less.  I then checked the rim to see if it would move sideways.  It did move, so I priced bearing then check with Terry for his schedule to see when he may have an hour to help me fix it. I was going to take it off and take to Terry's to fix it.


Jerry I was going to replace the bearings myself with Terry's help.  I opted to take it to the dealership and was good that I did.  One bearing ring came right out but the second one had to be cut out.  So if the rim got damaged it would be on them to replace it.
