bearings

On my 1999 Cupra Sport the rear wheel bearings are droning away. There is also play on each side. The rear brake discs are also quite worn. I plan to keep the car long term so want to use decent quality parts but also like a bargain. So, any reccomendations for suppliers/makers to use...

Soz if it's been covered already but i've had a quick look and couldn't find the answer. Is there anything other to do when fitting the front wheel bearings than using a press to press them into the hub carrier on an 03 Ibiza TDi Sport? I ask cos my garage are on with fitting the 2nd one...

Hi All, On the way home tonight initially during throttle lift i started to hear knocking noise which was in time with the wheel rotation. During the journey it got worse and then started to vibrate through the car and not just the steering ( I can tell that it was coming from the passenger...

1.8T AGU Its developed an awful knocking noise sometimes when started, its like a clunking sort of noise, and its just started making like a humming noise like somethings not happy. All sounds like its coming from the block so thinking maybe bearings of some sort? the knocking usually goes...

Are the wheel bearings a common thing to go on your mk4's? (more so the higher powered diesel ones pd130 etc) My dads got a Fabia VRs and he's had one wheel bearing replaced under warrenty, but its out of warrenty now and he thinks another may be on the way out. Another person I know with a...

car going into dealers for bearings also got rattle on back end when i hit any bumps any clues?

Hi, Turns out i need a rear passenger side bearing. I Know people have asked bearing questions before but i couldn't find a specific answer. So... i have a couple of the Questions (its a mk3 1.8 20VT AYP) 1) Do you replace bearings in pairs or just one by one? 2) Does anyone know when...

just had my hub off and took it down to a garage to get new bearing pressed in all looked good and circlips went in fine, i now have a promblem on passenger side that the disc is rubbing on the caliper so its causing a groove on the middle of my disc and since i had this side caliper off,my...

I have been getting a high pitched squeel for a while now - mainly when driving at motorway speeds in a straight line. It would go away if I turned ever so slightly either direction. This seems to have developed now in that sometimes (but certainly not all the time) I hear a more rough...

my drivers side needs doing, makes a very bad grinding sound when driven (down a private road of course) are they hard to do? Cheers Chris

do i need spring compressors to change the top mount bearings or not? thanks

Think mine are on there way out and would like to get a second opinion. Anybody coming to the Coventry meet at the end of the month who can take a look (ie sit in the back and listen). Obviously you would need to know what your listening for so I'm not just looking for a co-pilot :lol:

My Leon TDI has now done 16,500 miles and is about 9 months old. There seems to be a sort of rumbling sound when I am driving at a constant speed (20-30 mph), it is especially noticable on newer resurfaced roads. This noise was not there when I first bought the car. Someone has mentioned that...

I "THINK" my front wheel bearings are on the way out i have done 36k but have VERY stiff and lowered suspension. the reason i think this is cause of a small whining sound and its not the tyres wheels discs or pads??? how easy are they to fit and where can i get some from ??? thanks...

Do Hubcentric wheel spacers put any extra loads/stresses through the wheel bearings and shorten their life span? I am thinking of fitting either 15 or 20mm spacers to the rear axle of my standard wheeled Ibiza Cupra. Thanks

Does anyone know how to find out which wheel bearing needs replacing? I am getting a rumbling at 20MPH+ which is worse when turning to the right and better when turning left. My guess is the N/S (passenger) as more force is on that side when going round RH corners and all roundabouts are...

My bearings have gone in both front wheels. Its only done 54,000 miles - - is this normal? Also. does the oil light indicate it needs more oil, or oil change. cheers

Can anyone tell me how easy it is to fit new wheel bearings on the rear of the mk3 Ibiza please?? Ive fitted wheels bearings on my previous Escorts before so am able to do a little bit! lol Just there is know way I want to pay Seat £118 labour charges + the parts!!!! Any help would be...

My FR 20VT started making a light rattling sound on acceleration recently at 21000 miles. I thought it might be the well known loose manifold bolts problem but no. It gradually became louder until it sounded like the car had no silencer. I got the car back from the dealer today and was told...
