Wheel bearing cost

Go to another mechanic and check out the wheel bearings and wheel nuts as the first mechanic would have fixed any problems the first time around.

It will be somewhere around $200 +/- the wheel bearing itself is $153 at a normal parts store. Its a lot cheaper to do it yourself, let me know if you want some assistance. Or you can go to my website

I can get you the part real cheap at least and you can take it to your mechanic. Thanks.

Rear wheel bearing should not be very much. Front would be considerably more. Find a reputable mechanic with a reasonable shop rate. STAY AWAY from car dealerships , they always , always , always overcharge.

What are going to do to repair the axle? There really is no axle on front drive cars, the wheel assembly is connected to a hub that is mounted to the frame through swing arms. And, you would not take your car to a autobody shop for mechanical work. The cost of repairs depends on what is being done.

wheel bearings are'nt that expensive. i would buy 4 bearings and replace all four on the truck. the cost of two or four labour should be the same. a mechanic should have it done for you. buy the bearings youself and let the mechanic do it for you. good luck

Wheel bearings are pretty easy to spot if they are done. All you need is listen to where it's humming as you accelerate faster (it gets louder). Now to remove them you either have to remove the wheel bearing assembly housing and press it with a traditional bench press or something like this which does not involve in removing the housing (on car removal).
Both would cost money to purchase unless you are a shop though you wouldn't be asking this question. Using a hammer could work but give yourself a whole week trying to get it out or should I say good luck trying too. They are pressed in and the same follows to remove them. Unlike old style 2 pc bearings which come off easily by pulling them out together with the hub and also serviceable (re-greased). Sealed bearings are damaged once it is take off the hub and thrown away or used as paper weight. You may or may not require a wheel alignment depending how the tech did his homework regarding this area. If he is the kind that just rips off everything, not taking account where he could save time, then you'll probably need an alignment for sure. All in all if your worry is how to get it out, you have option of buying them installed in a new wheel bearing housing the a new hub pressed in as well and all you do is to remove the old housing and install the new one at a higher cost. Hey, so what if you can afford it, it would be easier to replace without the hassle of expensive tools. Make sure you follow tightening procedure for the center nut torque procedure or you'll end up breaking the bearing again. Never roll the car on it's wheels without a CV joint in the bearing, you'll crush the bearing and need a new one again.

raise van take off wheel you must use jackstands or support your van securly its going to rock alot Take off the four bolts located on the back side of the bearing then take out the small bolt from the speed sensor also located in behind the bearing remove the speed sensor. you will need a large mechanics hammer or heavy blunt object. beat the bearing from the back side dont worry about the cog attached you new bearing has one. dont listen to your hanyes or chiltons manuals thanks.

Jack up the car (SAFELY) so one wheel is just clear of the ground.

Grip the wheel with both hands and see if there is any movement when you "pull / push" the wheel.

If there IS movement ..... you need new bearings.

Good luck.

You need to remove the tire, brake caliper and rotor. Remove the axle nut and hub bolts. Take the hub (bearing is pressed in it) to a machine shop to have new bearings pressed in.

A mechanic will usually charge around 300 dollars per bearing (cost included).

Go to a mechanic... look, its cost thats right, but at list you have certain job.
