Just Rolled Into The Driveway. Had to limp the Rabbit home today after the front right wheelbearing gave up the ghost. It wasn’t very fun but at least the weather was nice and the top was down. I should have seen it coming. In the two(three?) weeks I’ve owned the car I’ve had to start driving with the steering wheel more and more offset to the left. I thought the steering shaft was slipping in hard corners, but I guess it was due to more and more tow out on that passenger side wheel caused by the bad bearing.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The good news is new front hubs are only about 30 bucks a pop. I’ll be replacing both of them before the car hits the road again. I got about 800 miles on before something happened bad enough to park it. Not bad.

And all and all of this on THE DAY that I felt really good about fixing a fuel cut issue(primary jet was clogged so it only ran at idle or full throttle) and was really excited because a bunch of parts came in. Non of woh are the ones I need.

Did. This two cars stuff is the life Man. I’m stressing out thinking about how I’m going to get to work or how long I’ll be without my own car. I’m just like “I’ll fix it when I can”

Yup that 10 miles I had to drive home at 30mph was worth not having the wheel fall off at highway speed

i fully endorse your idea of doing both fronts

how are the rear bearings?

One of them is a bit wonky, but not bad. But the bearings are like 8 bucks so I’ll probably just do them too. All alll it shouldn’t cost more than 120 bucks

Hmmm, does it sound like a broken bearing, then it is. If it doesn’t, it is a broken hub..... Not that that matters as both get replaced when either fails.

Sure sounds like a bad bearing, probably both
