HDZ32 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 So it sounds an awful lot like my wheel bearing is dying on my DS front wheel, figure it needs to be replaced :/ From my experience this is a total bitch to do, any tips/tricks? Also what's the best place to be buying a new one? Thanks in advance guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthlessromeo Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I did mine a while back from instructions i found on here.. its really not that bad as our car you replace the whole assembly and dont have to get anything pressed. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/front-wheel-bearing-diy-walkthrough-86994.html?highlight=replacing+wheel+bearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDZ32 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 So I replaced the bearing about a week ago with a new one from Detroit Axle for like 40 bucks, I figured hell yeah, that's super cheap. Well now the same wheel sounds like its going bad again. Is Detroit Axle a cheap brand or did I do something wrong? Any input is appreciated.
