Re: The bearings will make noise at highway speed, Posted by DougM [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: dougM........, swede, Thu, 22 Jul 2004 15:21:06 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
generally....above 30mph...below 30, maybe not. Sure they may seem tight, but since they are sealed units, how can you really tell? Bad bearings can't be felt with the car jacked up and you spinning the rotor/hub.
The axles are not such a big deal to pull out and inspect. Might be a good time to clean everything up, regrease the CV's, and install new boots also. Maybe new ball joints and outer tie rods while you're in there.
Do it all now and you won't have to worry about it again for many years.
