Wheel Bearing..Any special way to fit?

[fab]

Just had one replaced but had the hub off and handed it to the guy with the bench press.
Still hear a rumbling(slightly different from before the bearing change) grinding noise when cornering at certain speed.

[schakal]

may be it was the wrong bearing .
have you seen the one that came off the hub??


also when they do this job in a garage ,they spin the wheel
after fitting the new bearing to confirm its working fine .
obviously you did not have that chance .
but once happened to me ,the fella buggered the new bearing
while fitting and noticed straight after.

the moral of the story ,jack the damm car up and start spinning the
wheels boyo :P

I just changed the discs on my williams. I didnt realize at the time but the bearings are in the discs at the front. I had to re-use the old bearings which i dont normally do! I must have damaged one either removing it or replacing it and now it rumbles when you steer right at speed. You should be able to tell because when you jack the car up there should be some slight movement up and down on the wheel.

Basically its wheel off time for me.

^^^ bearings aren't in the discs at the front, only at the rear!

Yep mine is doing it steering to the right.(its the nearside wheel bearing)

The mechanic seems to think its an engine mount (the battery one)as he says the engine is shifting to the left and putting pressure on the shaft or something.

The part was from GSF and I think they are the same almost right through the renault range.

Well I was gonna do the mounts anyhow but looks like it will be a new bearing also.Hope its not the CV joint buggered.

yerra know!

[hank3944]

any movement on your wheel? (and not circular before any funny guys say it!)

Jack it up and spin the wheels boyo, could be the rear one?

Could be the other side, i had one go ont eh oppersite side, it was making a noise when it was unloaded

up and down movement is normally for checking ball joints.

if the bearing is that buggered that you have movent in the wheel when you jack it up you will have movement in every plane
