Title: Wheel Bearings
Post by Wafoo on Mar 8^th, 2006, 12:49pm

Anyone got a rough idea of the cost of a garage doing the rear bearings,mine sound decidedly ropey so need 'em doing.

My local garage mechanic ( as a favour at £5 an hour ) charged me £140 for the rear O/S bearing .

bearing kit = £32

Hub Flange = £88.76 ( this may not need replacing, but it does get
damaged when the bearing decides to make
weird noises )

Labour = 4 hrs x £5.

just bite the bullet and get them done if they are "rumbling" in my opinion,sod the expense,i'll tell you this,couple of months ago my near side one just collapsed on me,bearing,carrier,discs,pads + labour + inconvience and everything else + the thick end of £500.00..... >:( >:(...
thats my tip anyway..
