wheel bearing question..

[Ren]

I know my drive side wheel bearing (front) has some problem because It makes noice when I reach beyond 30-40 miles. well, here is the quesiton. Is it a big problem if I just leave it just for a while and fix it later? or I have to get it fix asap. and.. how much does it cost. and where can i find the parts?thank you have a nice day

sup Ren,

i had that problem with my rear pass. side wheel last spring. i did let it go for a bit before i could afford to fix it. i really don't reccomend it as all it will do for you is further the damage. i probably let it go for about a month from when i first noticed it, which is way to long in my opinion. i got my mechanic to fix it at the time and i believe it cost a couple hundred (Can).

If it is bad enough that you can hear it all the time, not just when your turning then you need to do something about it. Wheel bearings are usualy not to expensive try looking at autopartsworld.com or any online store like this. You are prob. going to want to get them installed somewhere unless you have a press readily available and are familliar with taking the wheel hub off of the car. The labor will prob be the expensive part in this repair.

yeah wheel bearing problems can be a problem. I had to get my drivers side front bearing changed. Dealership was like 100 and taking it to the machinist was another 30 bucks to get the old bearing pressed out and the new one pressed in. That might be a good ballpark figure for your stuff.
