I warped 1 rotor andthe pads had a wierd wear pattern on them. The thing is still shaking especiallywhen I am turning wheel to the left on the highway. What else can be doing this?

devilmademedoit Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 No one on this site has ever changed wheel bearings before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsdzine Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 ^ not that I know of. I believe changing the wheel bearings is pretty tough and would require a press of some sort - which might be the reason Subaru has extended the warranties on the newer LGT's wheel bearings (however, i am not sure about the '98 models). Someone correct me if I am wrong, but if the wheel bearings were going bad, isn't it just a noise? I had my rear go bad, and did not notice any vibrations, just an annoying "hummmmm" while driving... I don't see how a wheel bearing would result in f'd up pads/rotors on the passenger side - I think it is more with balancing/alignment. (or perhaps a bad install?) Did you torque your wheels to spec? and on a side note: Why did you just change the passenger side pads/rotor and not just the full front? Seems like that would tweak your R to L bias and you car would pull during heavy braking.... ps: try not to hit "post" multiple times brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03LegacyWgn Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 As being an alignment technition i would say check the tires, they may look good to they eye but you do have to look somewhat close to notice the ware pattern and if there is any delaminaton, quick way to tell, rotate tires front to back take it for a spin if it goes away then would suspect tires or possibly a bent rim. let me know hoe that works, id like to know the out come or help you fix the situation. 03 BH Mods: Group A Alt & Crank Pullys and end links, CIA, JDM L7 Grille, JDM HID lights, JDM rear tails Stromung CBE, KYB GR2's W/ H&R springs.
