| Looking to change both rear wheel bearings, any suggestions |
|
Hi,
I have a very light rumble from rear and small whine from 32 mph to about 38 mph sort of NSR. The whine goes once everything has been ran at speed, so maybe once warm.
I have a sticking caliper so plan was to have both bearings done and then have the discs, pads, caliper etc all changed at the same time as all this has to be removed to do the bearing. I have the parts as many of them came with the car bur had not been fitted.
So question is anyone know someone around Bristol who can do this, happy to pay cash if that helps but am also aware many garages don't like people supplying their own parts.

Thanks in advance

Agree with the above plus change top and bottom bushes including top alignment bolt as they are prone to seizing makes reassembly job easier and put lots of anti seize compound on the body of the bolts through the bushes and lock tight on threads 8)
