So i found out i have the tiniest bit of movement in my front passenger side wheel hub bearing. I plan on replacing this with a timken wheel bearing. My question is if i have one side timken other side original acdelco wil this create torque steer. I ask this because Timken claims to weigh less than stock. My thinking wants to tell me that this will create an unbalance in the front end. Sooo- can i get away with just replacing the front passenger Wheel bearing? I'd rather not replace both if i don't have to. T.I.A.

 

always should replace components like that in pairs.

 

Cool man. Thanx for the heads up. I will replace both.

 

I would do both also. I only had time to do one side and then a week later the other side started grinding. So might as well bite the bullet!

 

Cool man. Thanx for the heads up. I will do both.

 

second one is usually easier to do, and if you've already got everything out to do one keep going on the other side
you are going to need to do it sooner than later anyway

 

You can do just one.

Back when GM covered these under the powertrain that's how they were repaired.

I've done it both ways - just one, both. It doesn't matter. My left rear I replaced four or five years ago now, and the right one is still good.

 

Hmm. Thanx Chris for chiming in. I guess it's hit or miss on these. I plan on keeping the car forever so it probably wouldn't hurt to do both. Money is a lil tight though & should probably save up for the major repairs. Cars running great though & those control arms with upgraded spherical tcab & firehawk indy 500-man-o-man is this car a pleasure to drive now.
