Bearing type noise
Hello!
I've got what appears to be a bad front bearing. I don't know if it's left or right but it's very apparent when I turn left, almost quiet in a right turn. There is no wobble in the wheels both on the ground and when jacked up. All 4 wheels spin freely and are very quiet. No hub seems any warmer than the others. I'm fairly sure I can do the work myself, I've changed front bearings on my old Explorer and Escape. This is a 2002 Sebring 2.7L. Any suggestions? Thanks! |
You have to replace the HUB. Very common. It has the bearings in it.
Remove caliper and rotor. 4 Bolts on the back of the spindle, one big bolt on the axle shaft. Tap the back of the hub with a hammer on 2 or 3 spots it will come right out....maybe in pieces :p |
Just wondering if it's the left or right. Some web sites say noise while turning left indicates the right hub, some say the left hub. I found one the said you couldn't tell as the hub has an inner and outer bearing. I'm guessing the left as I can only replace one for now. Work has been fairly basic so far but I was a bit put off by the bolts on the back of the bearing - only 3 with a Torx like head but they came off easily with a 6 pt socket.
