So im guessing my have a bad rear wheel bearing, it makes a grinding howling noise at 20mph and more. its really annoying and it vibrates making the car feel un-smooth.

So im thinking about replacing the wheel bearing but WITH the Hub assembly from another wreck TL ? yay? nah?
and im pretty sure the hub just comes out right...?

 

If its the rear, a new hub with bearing installed is actually pretty cheap.

For a wear item like a bearing, I wouldnt want to risk doing all the work and finding out your junkyard part is already dead/dies shortly after.

As far as how to do it Im pretty sure there is a DIY in here.

 

Yes its actually cheap 30 bucks, and people be saying that its one expensive part to fix Lol

 

The parts for the front are more expensive (but still not outrageous). For the fronts its all about the labor. I had to pay the dealer to fix the front bearing on my old i30 (same setup as the TL....I was stuck 200+ miles from home) and it cost me 400.00 in labor alone. The bearing was another 50.00 and luckily I didnt need to replace the hub because no one had it in stock.

The fronts require pulling the steering knuckle out which is a pain, then you have to press the bearing into the hub AND knuckle. But the rears are cheaper and a lot easier to do since there is no steering to deal with.

 

Yeah that's where I'm stuck at right now, trying to get the bearing out the hub and knuckle at the same time. Does anyone know where the DIY is so I can take a look at it.
