    I've never seen bearing this bad before just curious if I can still use the hub bearing press to get the rest out or not.

    Hey everyone, I've started to notice a humming noise in my 05 M3 when the steering wheel is centered or turned left. It's accompanied by a slight but noticeable vibration that I can feel in the footwell and through the steering wheel. The noise and vibration disappears when I turn to the right...

    E46 325i executive auto. Just to start off I'm fairly sure I've got a bad front end wheel bearing. Makes a sort of grinding noise when driving that goes away when turning right (and only whilst turning right). :( The issue i'm trying to diagnose is that the steering shudders when applying the...

    Hi all, Some of my rotors are warped and since I am getting new tires on Tuesday I want to just replace all rotors and brake pads short after. At the same time I have a weird grinding noise from the front left sometimes while driving which I think could be the wheel bearing. Could you check...

    The other day, I developed what I thought to be a bad wheel bearing. Major vibrations would increase in intensity linearly relative to wheel speed. I could hear it coming from the drivers side rear wheel and didn't think too much of it at the time because I don't have the tools to swap rear...

    I am ready to press new OEM bearings into front knuckles of my '05 325xi. Bentley manual says to use Loctite 648 (Green) and to cover half or better of the outside of the bearing shell. In disassembly I could tell that the factory did this - there was residual cured excess Loctite in the back...

    I recently got spacers for my sedan with style 68s; 15mm and 20mm. At first I ran the 15s up front and 20s in the back. I would get a speed variable whup whup noise from the right rear that got worse when I turned left only with the 20s but when I swapped the 15s to the back it went away. I'm...

    So all of a sudden, my car started making a noise from the rear. It sounds offset to the right slightly and it's almost like driving on studded tires or like the engine revving up, coming in around 20mph, and getting higher pitched as the speed increases but only a little louder. At 50 or 60 it...

    I'm having issues with the front wheel bearing driver side. I replaced passenger side no problem, but the driver side has been an issue. After installing the new bearing hub, and then I tighten the locking nut. I can't turn the hub, it doesn't turn smoothly. Does anyone have any ideas what could...

    Hi all I have had a grumbling noise for a couple of months noise which I am pretty sure is the wheel bearings from reading other posts. So I have 2 new front wheel bearings arriving from the US next week so I am after someone to install them, perhaps a bit cheaper than a workshop. I also have...

    I just bought my first BMW this week, a 2004 330ci. I had it checked by a mechanic before I bought it and was told I need to replace the front wheel bearings. The price he quoted me for the wheel bearings was $411 for the cheaper ones and $836 for the good, quality ones. Does that quote sound...

    I have an 2001 325i with 135xxx miles on it, and i have a few problems with it - the Brake Light is on on the dash, although i have the handbrakes off - when the car is in idle, or when i start it up it kind of screeching and squealing noise but it runs fine on the freeway - the airbag light is...

    Hey Everyone, So this weekend I attempted to replace my rear passenger side wheel bearing that going bad. I have the usual sounds and vibrations coming from the rear of my car when going over 30 mph accompanied by vibrations now. So I've also been reading all the DIY's for this project for...

    I have an 2001 BMW 325ci and the steering used to wobble like crazy. I read through a bunch of forums and found that it can be CAs and their bushings. I got the car up on the lift and changed the bushings and the CA ball joints seem to be fine. Most of the steering wobble went away, but there is...
