Bearing gone :(

[bigbadjoe]

Just spent a fortune in a Miti specialist. Driving up to North Wales and find out I have a loud hum when I take a left turn. From what I can hear, its the right back.

Makes no odds as its a 4x4 so every bearing is a big job.

Do you think I should have a go my self or take it so some ''richard'' head who knows little about Evo's to get it done?

I had a loud humming on the MG and I thought it was a bearing but a pair of new rear tyres cured it. Might be worth a look before pulling the Evo to bits.

If you jack the car up is there much play in the wheel if you rock it from side to side?

Not tried as I am on hoilday down in Wales just now. Ill see on Sat when I am home.

Its only when I turn left it is.

This is no problem at all BBJ, I will sort you out a route to get you back to Elgin were you only need to make right hand turns only! :blink: Don't worry buddy I'll get you home safely and quietly with no hums!

Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left!

Tyres gone 50p shaped. Common!

Pretty easy job on an 8 if you're mechanically minded, bro. Should take you a couple of hours at the most.

I have helped a mate do one on my old Escort.

I was over the moon when he told me to use a screwpdriver and a hammer to smash the old one out. Apart from that, I did very little!

I might have a go. Its just things like the ABS sensor has to be traced back as it can't be taken out of the hub and little things like that.
