JMLegacy Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Could a bad wheel bearing cause your car to pull to one side and maybe even wear tires badly? I'm having a slight pull to the left even after doing alignment but I'm hearing a wheel bearing on the left getting coarse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPerron Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Probably not, but you have to fix the bearing anyway, so what's the issue? Replace the bearing, and while the car is on the lift, make sure there are no other worn out components. Then do an alignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMLegacy Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Yeah, i got a full alignment job recently, not sure if i hit a pothole or something that made it out of wack. It's not pulling hard to the left, just barely goes there. But never to the right so i know something is up. Where can i get the wheel bearing online? There is none out here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably need a bearing. Hitting a curb hard enough to break your wheel would almost definitely throw your wheel bearing off. -Mike Paisan http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/145749898/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg http://www.whiteline.com.au/images/logos/perf1.jpg 11+ Years Maintaining, Modifying and Educating TriState Subaru Enthusiasts.
