I have a bad wheel bearing in my car, does anyone know where i can get the best deal to replace it?

It is the front passenger side

I have an 05 cobalt ss/sc

 

wats it do, like a knocking noise? cuz i have a lot of knocking on mine sometimes and was wondering 2 if it was the bearings or axles

 

cv shafts go bad when you turn the wheel and you hear knocking, wheel bearing is constant loud road noise.

i guess no one wants to answer a real question?

 

Patience, lil camper! Its only been a couple hours.

Are you up to replacing it yourself? Its not difficult. Autozone lists the bearing/hub for your car at $229.

There are cheaper versions but they appear to be for the 2.2 cars.

 

have you replaced one before? ive replaced them on my s10 and it sucked

 

With the right tools, I found it fairly easy. Its not like some cars where you have to remove the whole steering knuckle and get the bearing pressed out.

I may have misread it, but your first post wasn't clear if you were looking for a shop to do it, or just a price. Sorry if I went down the wrong path.

 

Replace both I had the same problem it was just one and then the other went out couple days later but to get a good deal not sure I got it from a mechanic that found them cheap

 

thank you, thats what i was looking for, is if there was something i can order it online cheaper then 230

 

i know in the 4 lug, the wheel bearing is sealed inside the hub assembly, so you have to replace, the entire assembly which is pretty easy, took me less than an hour. I'm thinking the ss/sc might be the same way?

 

more then likely, do they have sensors on them?

 

yes, and watch out for the gasoline bushings they need to be re-oiled occasionally

 

Yes, there's a harness connector you have to unplug for the ABS.

The non-ABS version is cheaper. And the 2.2 version is cheaper too; probably because its 4-lug. Also be sure to replace the axle nut and washer with new ones (they provide new ones in the box with the new bearing).

 

thanks again, i ordered it today, 235 bucks down the drain, that is 60lb injectors, or h/e, or a custom tune, or a fart can, or some tires....

 

not trying to thread jack this dood but if i turn the wheel to the right quickly while driving i.e. avoiding a pot hole and such. i will hear a knock from the front end. doesn't do it when i turn the wheel left quickly. only right

 

Your going to have to give a better description of your car, it could be suspension issues

 

I have a bad wheel bearing too. I'm taking it to the dealership for warranty work in about an hour. Best of luck to you with installing it.

 

ugh, i took the everything apart and for the life of me i could not get it off, it is so rusted its unbelievable. I have used all WD-40 like products, i have hammered it, have crow bared it, i gave up....


for today...
