"a compartment in the axle" does not equal "front bearings" but is most likely the inner drive shaft bearings. Some 9-3 do have a problem with the inner drive shafts as the grease is displaced resulting in steering wheel vibration. The fix is to replace the grease and make sure that it is evenly distributed and that the rubber seal is properly mounted. -- Göran Larsson Senior Systems Analyst hoh AT approve DOT se
