rear bearing noise , Looking for a shop in durham

1idman · 04-03-2015, 09:13 AM

I am hearing loud noise from what sounds like the rear hub, I think the bearings are going. I'm looking for a shop in durham (east end) and an idea of what it would cost to replace the bearings

Thanks. I will look them up. Roughly how much should I expect to pay for each side?

As for an estimate of cost - contact them and see what they say.

Went to Vanderheydens in Oshawa,I had a very good experience there. They booked the car in for 8am, I was out by 11 .They found the bad bearing right away replace with OEM parts only, car feels new again. Sorry to say I tried to get a hold of Stancefactory a couple times, only got their machine.

I've been to Vanderhayden's a couple times - really great guys. Most honest mechanic I've dealt with. Always lots of Bimmers in there.

Hey can you describe what it sounds like? I'm getting a intermittent humming sound on the highway, and I think it might be bad wheel bearing in the rear also. Are those your symptoms?

First off I not a tech, But I have owned and do own many cars.
To test front bearings drive at a slow speed about 15km/hr, make sure no cars on the road turn steering to left to load right bearing and to the right to load left bearing. If you hear a grinding noise when you load the side, that will indicate a bad bearing.
For rear bearing it is a little harder you will need to drive at about 80km/hr again on a road with no traffic. turn the wheel to the right, If it gets louder its the left bearing, turn the wheel to the left and it gets louder then its the right bearing. what you will hear sounds like road noise similar to driving with winter tires. Please do the on a safe stretch of road and remember to stay on the road always, it only takes small movement to hear the grinding. The tech test by putting the car on a hoist, running the engine in gear and listening at each wheel. Basically told them I thought it was the rear right, and they confirmed it, only needed to replace one bearing.
