I own a 1999 Acura Integra with 120,000 miles on it, that has always run great. It seems however that whenever it does need repairs it always revolves around brake/wheel problems. I had to replace both front wheel bearings in Jan 2007 and again in Jan 2008. The ABS sensors on at least one of my wheels is dead. The front rims on my car have darkened a bit. It looks heat-related to me. It does not just wipe off, I have tried using many different cleaners. They are often hot to the touch after driving too. The back rims on the other hand look fine. Have had to replace brakes and brake pads within the past year as well (although this seems like normal wear and tear to me)
My question is this...does this sound like there may be some underlying condition with my car that is causing so many wheel problems. If so, what are some possibilities? The thing that strikes me as odd is the 2 wheel bearing changes and the heat-charred rims. Whenever I take it to a shop nobody ever suggests anything even when I raise the issue. Even the Acura shop said nothing.
Maybe unrelated, but I replaced the muffler system 2-3 years ago, and right now I need to do it again.
Thank you.
What is underlying issue for my car - wheel problems on Acura Integra?
The wheel bearings should probably be warranty, and the dust on the rims is probably normal break dust, if you get ceramic pads next time it will cut down on the brake dust. It is normal for the rim to be slightly warm or hot after driving....it is bolted to the rotor which absorbs almost all of the heat from braking.
What is underlying issue for my car - wheel problems on Acura Integra?
If you live somewhere where it snows or rains alot then it's not suprising that is all you've had to do for a car with 120,00 miles. It's pretty average. I've seen alot of cars with wheel bearing going out. Although if only the front ones went bad try getting a front end alignment.
You have a stuck brake caliper. You probably got the brakes so hot that it baked the grease out of the wheel bearing. You'll need to replace the caliper and the rotor. Hopefully that'll solve your problem.
Your ABS sensor could be the problem its activating the brakes when they don't need to be there for overheating you brake disks

LOOSE WHEEL BEARINGS ON FRONT WHEELS?
whenever I drive my front tires make a sound similar to that of a flat tire but the tires r new and they are not on flat,I know a wheel bearing change is very costly I called pep boys and they said 600$ I'm not willinng to pay anyone know where I can go ? and do I just need them tightened? I'm 100% sure that I will not pay for new ones just something I refuse to do so ill just continue to drive until they fall off ,can I tighten them myself please help me
LOOSE WHEEL BEARINGS ON FRONT WHEELS?
Changing wheel bearings is a do-it-yourself job if you have a torque wrench. Although, Some bearing replacements require a Hydraulic press.
I would go to http://mibearings.com and fill out the form on the right. Ask them if you need any special tools to replace the bearings.
(Also, if you do it yourself you are looking at $40 to $200 (max) in cost)
Good Luck!
LOOSE WHEEL BEARINGS ON FRONT WHEELS?
They can not be just tightened. They have to be replaced. Sorry,
i just fix a niegbors car bearings the other day. cost of bearings=40 dollars=cost of labor=case of bud lite. sorry someone is pulling your leg.
if it,s a rear wheel drive then maybe all the bearings need is packed with grease and adjusted. jack up your car and see if you can shake the wheels.

I have a 2002 hyundai elantra 125000 mi i have a humming noise coming from the passenger side wheel area when?
driving and when i turn the wheel to the left it gets louder. is this a wheel bearing? i did jack the car up and checked the the wheel for play there isn't any. should i replace the wheel bearing? if so how hard is it to change thanks.

You definately have all of the symtoms of a wheel bearing before long you will probably see looseness in the bearing on that side!

Good possibility that it is a wheel bearing but if it is you will need the assistance of a front end shop because it is a sealed bearing that is pressed into a hub.Take it to a shop to get it diagnosed first and see what they would charge to replace it.

Rear wheel bearing or brake going bad.?
my girlfriend has a ford escape and yesterday it started making a pretty bad like squeak or grind noise. it almost sounds like a brake has gone bad but it doesn't change if you put on the brakes, but if you get over like 10ish miles an hour the sound goes away. i think it is either the brake getting bad (it's been a few years since they have been changed) or a bearing has gone bad, but i am by far no mechanic. my real question is she has an appointment for monday at the mechanic but still has to drive 30 mins to work and 30 back (back roads) until then. will the car be okay until monday or should she try to work something out to get her moms car until then (which would be a pain in the... you know)? i just want her to be safe so any mechanics out there help me out.
thanks in advance.
Rear wheel bearing or brake going bad.?
brakes would be the first choice for bearing is a rare thing to go out... as for safe it shoul dhold up but more damage the longer you drive it
Rear wheel bearing or brake going bad.?
yes, it'll be ok to drive---this sound you hear is usually caused by worn brake pads---glazed pads---no big deal----some times just goin in and ruffin the pad surface with sand paper will clear it up------but best to just replace the pads---and rotors--do it right
If the sound changes when you are in a wide turn, with the car leaning to one side, then changes sound again when you turn in the other direction, it's probably a bearing. Usually when they fail, it will make sound in only one direction of turn.
ill tell you what to do. jack it up and spin the wheel and shake it. if its a wheel bearing, it should make a noise. before the brakes can make a noise, you have to put them on, unless you have a spring broke, rubbing on something in the drum.
thanks in advance.

A Wheel bearing on my car is starting to whine (noticeable when going around corners) My question is?
How long before I have to change it. (in miles) I had heard then CAN rumble on for 1000,s of miles.
A Wheel bearing on my car is starting to whine (noticeable when going around corners) My question is?
It would be best to change it now,$300 now is better than $500 later!! When a bearing goes bad it can cause damage to other parts.......
A Wheel bearing on my car is starting to whine (noticeable when going around corners) My question is?
might not be wheel bearing.Had sim whine on turn n with help drove in lt/rt circle, set stands under eels 2 let the eels be in rd position. With steer n on a turn and a wheel be n hand rotated, whine come from twisted left ft brake bac n plate scuf n brake rotor.
I wouldn't go too long with a bad bearing...when it seizes up, be prepared to replace the whole drivetrain on that side...
NOW.
The bearing can make noise for a while, but if it builds up enough heat (noise comes from friction and friction causes heat and damage), the inner and/or outer race can weld itsself to the spindle or carrier. It that were to happen, it turns a not too difficult fix into an ugly and expensive one. Procrastination is not good in this case. On the other end, it can rumble for thousands of miles and slowly disentegrate untill that wheel loses control, which could be fatal.
It wont pass an MOT like it because the brakes will fail because of it (thats if you dont kill someone first). I had a loose wheel bearing problem with a previous car and because I left it it welded itself to the hub and I had to pay for both.
what you have heard is a complete fluke on there part as some cars can go for miles with problems and others just fail straigh away...
it is entirely up to you whether you want to play that risk but when it does break be prepared for gigantic bill that follows, honestly it is not cheap and when it happened to me i just scrapped the car....
Why wait to change it? It won't cure itself and you are risking doing even more damage, or even worse, having an accident due to a bearing failure (at worst, your wheel may seize).
Time to bite the bullet and get it changed NOW. A couple of hundred dollars spent now could save a thousand later.
replace the cv axel before it is to late if it is a front wheel drive
The longer you leave it, the more it wears the wheel hub that it is fitted into, and if the bearing is dry, it can start to break up inside the hub, and that would be expensive to fix.
Turn your radio up real loud and you can drive for miles and miles without having to listen to it whine !
Are you sure the incessant whine you hear every time you drive around a corner is not just your girlfriend telling you to %26quot;SLOW DOWN%26quot;? Seriously though, GET IT FIXED!
Fix it now! It can lock up and ruin the axle/spindle and could cause a wreck. Don't take a chance. Spend a little now, or a lot later
OK?................ Ok.
they can, but it may just need grease. It's dead easy to do once you've been shown. well worth a haynes manual.
the other person is right friend.it can freeze up on you and cause more problems.if i were you i would get right on that and get it fixed,because if it freezes up,ill guarentee you,that you wont go anywhere.

DO I HAVE A BAD WHEEL BEARING??? OR SOMETHING ELSE?
Just last week I pulled out of work parking lot (which is gravel and mud with big puddle holes. Deep too) and I noticed a humming /vibration coming from under the car. I have a 4wd 2002 ford explorer. The noise/feeliing gets harder to notice at higher speeds, and when I am braking from 40ish, there is a clanking noise. And when I slow down, so does the humming vibration. But! It doesn't see, to be there all the time.
I was parked at a slant recently (uphill), and when I left, the clanking and vibration was the worst it ever was. And today when pulling onto a frontage rd, the turn is a tight turn that you have to slow way down for, and its downhill. And on that turn, I heard a squeeky clanking, and my steering wheel started shaking a bit after straightening out (and soon went away).
I know this is a lot of info. But I thought it would help if I gave as many details as poss. I should add-I had both front wheel bearings changed last year and the problem this time is very similar, but in rear (which I understand can be different things). Any help is much appreciated guys!
DO I HAVE A BAD WHEEL BEARING??? OR SOMETHING ELSE?
Brakes , steering and suspension is a must fix.
Do not leave it unnattended.
Get in to a qualified repair shop and get it fixed.

id guess and say cv joint
sounds more like a cv axle then a bearing. a bearing usually has a grinding noise.
you may have picked up a piece of gravel between the calliper and rotor. remove the wheel and take a look

2002 cavalier wheel bearing?
how do you determin which wheel bearing is making noise? when turning to the right the car is quite, when turning left i get alot of bearing noise, i would hate to change the wrong one.
2002 cavalier wheel bearing?
jack it up and shake the wheel. if it is bad it should shake.
2002 cavalier wheel bearing?
The only absolute test is to check both sides while the wheels are turning using a mechanics stethoscope.
I have found that 85-90% of the time it will be the bearing on the same side to which you are turning when the noise is loudest, on Front wheel drive cars with integrated double roller bearings which are the most common type. Also note that if you a planning on changing the bearing yourself, know that they are press fit bearings in most applications which means that you will need a press to remove the old and install the new bearing.
Hi, Get the car on Stands make sure it is SAFE lift the car about an Inch off the stands spin the wheel it should sound quiet and smooth, if it sounds rough on the turn that wheel is your problem.It sounds as if it is the N/S Bearing.
jack the front up and put the car in neutral and spin each tire and you should be able to tell which one is bad.
Well..check it yourself or get a mechanic to check, it won't take that long.

Wheel bearing 97 Acura cl?
I have a 97 acura CL 2.2 with 100 thousand miles. I recently bought it from someone else so I don't know what has been done and what hasn't. There is a growling noise. It is most noticeable when driving around 20 or 30 miles an hour, but it is noticeable at higher speeds as well. I tried to swerve from side to side to see which side the bearing was on, and the sound doesn't change. Had the car looked at by a couple of mechanics, one checked the wheels for play up and down (12 and 6) and couldn't find much if any.
There is also a clicking noise coming from somewhere when you turn and accelerate. It happens most often when turning left, and sometimes when turning right. Especially when accelerating from a stop and turning left like pulling out onto a road, at about a 45 degree angle.
There isn't any bad vibration, even at freeway speeds. Also it doesnt get better or worse with application of the brakes. I know the back brakes need work, but it doesn't sound like grinding; more of a howling.
I thought halfshafts and wheel bearing. Had firestone diagnose. They said transmission had spun a bearing, and thats where the axel noise was coming from too. I had the transmission rebuilt by a different shop for a lot less money. they said that the bearings in the tranny were good, clutch was burnt up, so rebuilt anyway.
Both the bearing noise, and the clicking noise are back, but at least now my tranny shifts smooth.
What's going on? One halfshaft was fairly new, but I heard a lot of remanufactured halfshafts are junk anyway and fail often. How can i tell which wheel bearing is bad? How can I be sure it's halfshafts? Do wheel bearings sometimes fail and the sound doesn't change when you load or unload the wheels? Help Please!

ur bearing(hub) is the problem with the bearing noise the half shaft and bearing need to be changed at the same time.halfshaft will get rid of the clicking the bearing will get rid of the noise(change both sides at the same time)

2000 grand am gt making noise on left side wheel bearing hub maybe i dont no ? do i need to change both side?
It could be the wheel bearing, you probably don't need to replace both, but just a head's up the other might just be about to go too. It might be worth the money just to get both fixed and save yourself some aggrevation.
2000 grand am gt making noise on left side wheel bearing hub maybe i dont no ? do i need to change both side?
Just replace the 1 since the bearings fail at different times. Especially if you live in or around the city, 1 bad pothole will shorten a bearings life so dont sweat replacing both of them.
I got a 99 Grand Am and the driver bearing went @ 90k and the passenger side went @ 120k.
Save the green and just replace the 1 for now.
2000 grand am gt making noise on left side wheel bearing hub maybe i dont no ? do i need to change both side?
What is happening to make you think it might be a bearing problem? What is the car doing? Front or Rear?
No
No not at all, have it checked to see which side is bad and have them replace only the bad bearing. One side will not cause the other side to go bad and they do not necessarily go bad at the same time.help with flat screen tvs multiple tables

Need to change a bearing on a pt cruiser?
my pt cruiseer is an 06 and i wanna know how to change the front right side wheel bearing im a do it yourself type and i know what i need to change it i just want to know if there is a website that can show you step by step or if anybody knows how to do it step by step
thanks
Need to change a bearing on a pt cruiser?
You will need a hydraulic press to press out the old bearings and press in the new ones.
Usually, you can purchase the bearings online and take them into the shop to have the pressing done the rest is a DIY.
Check out http://mibearings.com for new wheel bearings
Need to change a bearing on a pt cruiser?
I'd recommend getting a service manual, not the Haynes or Chilton type specifically, but a factory one or equivalent. I bought a service manual for my wife's PT from www.promanuals.net it was about 25 bucks or so. I had to call though, they don't have every manual listed on their website. But the number is a 800 one and they have a huge catalog. It came in about 3 or 4 days.
Take off your wheel, remove your brake caliper and remove the brake disc. You may have a metal hub in the center that you have to take off to access the bolt. Pull off your disc and you will have access to your wheel bearing.
Easy job. Make sure you get some wheel bearing grease.
joe where are you going to put the grease.

How do you change the bearing on a roller blade labeda wheel?
Pop that bering out %26lt; use the allen wrench that comes with the blades %26gt; and insert the new bering.
I've never done that; just saw my friend do it ... usually, I go through 4 brakes, and new wheels ... then I buy a new pair of blades ... it's not like their expensive ... in fact it's more economical to ditch the old and get new ones %26lt;cost of 8 wheels %26lt;$30%26gt;: 16 Bearings %26lt;$40%26gt;: and 4 breaks %26lt;$12%26gt; = $82 vs new blades from $60 to $120%26gt;. Unless you're training for competition, just get the affordable stuff.

Audi A4 Wheel Bearing problem...?
I have a 1999 Audi A4 2.8L V6. A couple of days ago weird clicking noise started coming out of my rear passenger side wheel area. I took it to a mechanic today and he told me it was my wheel bearing and that i need to change it? Can someone tell its the wheel bearing and that it has to be changed just by listening to the noise? Do I really have to get it changed? How much would it cost? the mechanic told me it would take 2 1/2 hours to change it. Is that really such a long process? Can you recommend what kind of wheel bearing I should purchase because they would charge me $130 just for the wheel bearing plus labor while Autozone had a wheel bearing for $70.
I might not know much about cars but that doesn't mean that anyone has the right to make fun of me or my questions. If you dont have a helpful answer then dont respond and keep your jokes to yourself. thanks.
Audi A4 Wheel Bearing problem...?
You can usually tell what is wrong just by listening to the noise. It could also be the CV Axles that are going bad.
As for time, that is quite long for changing a wheel bearing. A wheel bearing replacement (for one wheel) usually takes from 45min to 1 hr 30 min.
Regrading what bearing brand you should go with, I would suggest http://mibearings.com they have very good bearings (USA made) at very competitive prices. go to their front page, and fill out the form on the right. I would also mention the price quotes you got for the other companies.
I would not suggest Autozone bearings, they could be made in china. Check with the,
Audi A4 Wheel Bearing problem...?
I just had my wheel bearing replaced on my Audi Yesterday!
Yup, that is the noise for a bad wheel bearing. But what you need to figure out is if its coming from the Left Rear tire or the Right Rear tire. This will save time and money!
I bought my wheel bearing at www.blauparts.com
It was $45 for the part. With my mechanic, it took him an hour to replace. But of coarse he has been working on Audi's for 20 years so he can move fast! hah
So go to www.blauparts.com and the wheel bearing for the Audi A4 is only around $45.00
Good luck!

Wheel bearing!!!?
Can anyone tell me how much it will cost to get both rear wheel bearings changed?? Many Thanks N
Wheel bearing!!!?
try going to a back street garage as they not take all your money off you. UN like some . when i got mine done i payed 45pound. and that was for the parts and fitting ...
i can remember going to (IQ-Garage) they said 100pound a wheel.. i will never pay that . but now I'll just do them myself much cheaper
Wheel bearing!!!?
You don't say what sort of car you've got but changing the wheel bearings is one of the easier jobs you can do yourself. See if you can get a look at a Haynes manual %26amp; if you do decide to do it take your time %26amp; keep things tidy %26amp; in order so putting it back together is simple. You only need a lever or screwdriver, maybe new split pins %26amp; some grease + the new bearings of course, good luck if you go for it.
It'd help if we knew what car your asking about, old type taper bearings are cheap and easy to change , the newer needle type need a press and cost more , i'd do taper type for 20 拢 and other type around 40 to 50 depending on make
Hello!
You're probably looking at around an hours labour plus 拢40 to 拢60, so it 'll be around 拢80 to 拢100 all in.
Regards
Geordie
hi the best thing to do is take it back to your local dealer and have them fix it becuase even though it will be expensive its probably worth it
Bearing in mind, it depends on what make / model of car van ???. Modern csars possbly 拢60 to 拢100 Old cars are a doddle拢50 to 拢60 max or maybe lower.
about 拢100 each
What kind of car is it??

Wheel bearing on 05 f150 fx4?
i am very very strapped for cash . my wheel bearing is out. im going to change it myself . my problem is i dont have a book for torque specs. and im also wondering if i need a puller. ive done tons of gm bearings but never one of these. help..
Wheel bearing on 05 f150 fx4?
Assuming it is the front wheel bearing you are referring to, it is replaced as a hub and bearing assembly. For the front wheel bearing you will need to remove the brake caliper and pads as an assembly (two 18mm bolts) and support it by hanging onto one of the coils of the front spring. Remove the brake rotor (it just knocks off). You will then need to disconnect the ABS wheel speed sensor connected to the frame (as the new hub and bearing assembly comes with a new sensor). You will then need to knock off the small end cap with a flat blade screwdriver. Once removed, remove the nut retaining the end of the shaft (13mm). Once removed, remove the four 18mm bolts on the back side of the steering knuckle and the hub and bearing assembly simply pulls out. A puller is not necessary on the particular vehicle. Installation is just the exact reverse of removal. The torque specs are 20 ft-lbs. for the axle shaft nut, and 148 ft-lbs. for both the caliper and bracket assembly bolts as well as the four hub and bearing retaining bolts. Hope this helps.parameter web development

Locked up caliper? Or bad wheel bearing??
When I drive I hear a low rubbing sound within the car that sounds as if it is coming from a wheel. Some people have said it was a wheel bearing going bad because if I change lanes the tone of the rub will change too. I suspect it is a locked up brake caliper. Twice when I took it out of park and put the transmission in reverse, the car seemed to be locked up and then I heard a popping sound like the caliper just broke free. I am wondering if a bad wheel bearing would cause the wheel to lock up and make the same popping sound?? Any clues or advise as to how to determine which is bad?
Locked up caliper? Or bad wheel bearing??
I would say you have a real bad wheel bearing if it is popping like you say it is, take it to the shop and have them check the problem out before something leaves you stranded or catches fire from too much heat.
Locked up caliper? Or bad wheel bearing??
if it sounds like a %26quot;clunk%26quot; sound then it might be your bearings, but if it is a different sound. it might be your caliper, and you might need new roders [sp?] becuase that would mean your caliper is lose and its rubbing onto your roders and wearing them down. someone just had the same problem with their car.
A bad wheel bearing, a brake caliper, and if a front wheel drive a constant velocity joint (CV joint) can cause this grinding sound....most likely you have a dry worn out wheel bearing though.
In either even you should pull the wheel and inspect.. cuz either problem is gonna get you in deep CaCa eventually...
either is a pretty quick fix... though not cheap.. even if you have to replace the spindle... neither is a hard fix.. anyone that can work on a car can fix it in about an hour even if they are relativly a newbie...
one way is to jack up car put a shovel under front wheel and see if any movement in wheel' but the best bet is to take off wheel and check out bearings
Jack up the car, spin the wheel and see if you can spin it by hand. If you can, pump the brakes, with it jacked up, and then get out and try to spin it by hand and see if there is any difference.
I would think that a locked up caliper wouldn't allow you to spin the wheel freely, so if you can spin the wheel while jacked up, and in neutral obviously, you will be able to hear the bad bearing, if that is in fact what it is.
Anyhow, good luck.

Axle for inline skate wheel stuck to bearing spacer. help!?
i'm trying to change wheels for my inline skates but the axle is stuck to the spacer of the bearing. ive tried applying wd-40 and other lubricants but still stuck. help please
Axle for inline skate wheel stuck to bearing spacer. help!?
I am assuming that you have one or two piece axles. Three piece (a screw from each side screws into a threaded spacer) axles are very rare nowdays and very different.
You need to tap the axle out.
If you have two piece axles (a screw goes into the axle from the other side), get a longer screw than the axle ones and screw it completely into the axle so that it sticks out 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
Put a wheel or wheels under the frame with the axle in the center hole and tap the wheel out (light taps with a hammer on the screw)
For one piece axles, buy a punch or rest a screw against the screw end of the axle. You can do that with a two piece axle but you have to be careful to not damage the end of the axle or the screw threads.

Is this a bad wheel bearing?
My car shakes pretty bad when I'm driving. Its more of a wobble at 20/30 mph, but its more of a violent shaking at 40/50/60 mph. I jacked the front end up and shook the tires back and forth and it was a little loose. Not much, but there was some %26quot;leeway%26quot; with a faint knocking sound. Now, Im pretty sure the tire was the only thing moving, not the tie rod (thats the only thing i could see without taking the tire off). Is there anything else that could be the culprit besides the wheel bearing? If so, how can you find out?Yes it does. When I'm on the expressway going 55-60 mph, I'll try to keep it within that range or else if I let off the gas its tends to shakes slightly more. It seems as if I keep my foot on the gas, then it wont be as bad of a vibration as if i would let off. Is it a pain to change out the bearing yourself?

Is this a bad wheel bearing?
Number one you should do that test with the tire on to give you more leverage. Number two the should with the tire on support the lower control arm and load it with all the vehicle weight. The grab the tire top and bottom and do the same wiggle type test as you did for the wheel bearing and tie rod ends. The trouble you are describing sound more like a tire with a separated belt or possibly a C/V joint that is sticking. With both front wheels off the ground have someone start the car and pull in drive. Have them release the brakes and you look at both front tires. They should be smooth with no big bumps or side ways movement in them. If they have movement one way or the other it could be the tires or possibly a bent rim. If all seems good then you could have an axle shaft sticking. You will need to go to the repair shop for this one must likely.
Is this a bad wheel bearing?
if it a bad wheel bearing when u driving and hear a humming sound or sumtimes a screeching sound most of the time it is and if ur car has more than 100 thousand miles on it its time to change them
try tighting the big bolt in the center
if its still like that you can unscrew the bolt an see whats going on

98 ford taurus front wheel bearing repair?
Why do they say the ball joint end has to be removed to change? Can I do this myself with basic tools? Don't have hub nut wrench or ball joint puller, I do my own brakes, is this harder?
98 ford taurus front wheel bearing repair?
You need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the bearing with a 10 ton press. I doubt you know how to do the brakes right either. Just throwing pads on doesn't cut it. You will get brake fade and the rotors will end up warping because of the glaze build up on the rotors unless you resurfaced them or replaced them.
