99 9-5SE, 60K
I just brought my SAAB in for servicing because of a grinding noise in the front end. It turns out that the wheel bearings were worn. $450 to replace the front wheel bearings at $97/hr. Can anyone comment on the following?
- $450 seems high to me, is this price reasonable?
- Should the wheel bearings go at 60K? How long should they last?
- The front end sounds fine now, but I'm hearing some road noise from the rear end. Should they have changed the rear wheel bearings also? What happens if I don't change these bearings?
$1500 maintainence on my SAAB this year so far (Includes the new alternator + 60K service). I'm not sure what else is coming up; probably the water pump.
Any advice on whether I should keep this car or start looking for a new one? The car is in pretty good condition and I've been very good in following the maintenance schedule ( oil change every 4-5K)
