I keep hearing a clicking noise from my wheel i know its a bearing but which one i don't know
How do you know if it is your hub bearing or axle bearings that are going bad?

Theres only one set of bearings in the wheel area, and those are the wheel beaings, the others are differential bearings. You'll know it's your differential beaings if there was tranny fluid leaking though.


Buy a new bearing set and seals from www.thepartsbin.com for a total of ~ 80 dollars and go to the motorvate site for install instructions, or a local tire/wheel alignment garage for an additiaonal $60

Wheel bearings don't usually click. That's usually your CV joints. If you look under there, are any of the boots torn?

My car makes a metal-to-metal "klang" when I turn the steering wheel quickly and sometimes when going over bumps. Any ideas?
