Re: Replace wheel bearing? Is this a failure item? Posted by Bill Homer [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Replace wheel bearing? Is this a failure item?, RayF, Sun, 15 Jan 2012 06:26:46 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The original SAAB 9000 front wheel bearings are very high quality and last for a long time - you didn't say how many miles are on the car. My guess is that the $70 bearings are the Chinese imitations, which are know for early failure. If they are not from SKF (the OEM manufacturer) or Timken (repackaged SKF), I wouldn't waste my time; do a search for "Meyle wheel bearing" or similar for examples of poor bearings.
I would take some time for more diagnosis before replacing the bearings. See linked thread.
