Title: Front wheel bearing tired
Post by Geoff_W on Jul 8^th, 2005, 5:59pm

Evening all, think I have just fallen foul of "No its not a granada its an Ultima!"

Booked the car in for investigation on a rotational rumble, vibration from the front end builds with road speed, stays when clutch in.

Yep its a tired front wheel bearing, we will order one in for you and do the job on Friday.

Dropped it off this morning.

First bearing to small, and the next two supplied wrong sizes. Took away the old bearing and hoping to come up with a replacement by Monday sometime DOHHHH :(

Picked it up today, bowls along really smoothly, got the power steering vibe but that should clear over the next day or so.

The parts supplier had locked themslves into the Granada loop but sorted and I am so happy ;D

Interesting thing is how we gradualy tune out these little vibes etc but amazing when we get things sorted. £57.95 inclusive fitted.

Not worth getting your hands dirty.
