Title: Slightly broken wheel bearing....
Post by: maaarcooose on 17 April 2008, 09:44

When I first drove the cab home after buying it there was a lovely grinding noise from the drivers side front wheel.

I suspected the wheel bearing.

I was right.

ive had three broken wheel bearings, one fubared inner cv, one loose cv, faulty hall sender, various electrical problems, head gasket and other bits that have kept me off the road mainly due to me constantly working on it and not  knowing much about cars

but aye as han says its a downhill slope now lol, i still love em tho, its just a test of your perserverance.

Thanks everyone. I'm grabing all the luck I can.

I'm taking the wheel bearing housing to the local garage tomorrow to have the new bearing and hub pressed in.
After that a quick coat of hamerite, back on the car, replace the brake pads, disks, paint the calipers and then get an MOT if I'm lucky.

The thing is I know I've got the other side to do after this and the rear wheel bearings.
