# Suspected bad wheel bearing??-->

Posted by RHD MAX (93 SE) on September 14, 2002 at 09:56:19:

Ok, I have changed Rotors, Changed Pads, Cleaned the Calipers, Made sure the Shims are good in the caliper. Used Copper Coat anti-squeal stuff. Changed the Left Half Shaft. Now i have a noise. Its not a clunking, but it is like Bad Tire/road noise? It increases pitch with speed. Like a "Whirrrring" noise. Im going to go get my wheels rebalanced and make sure there are no flatspots on the tread. Anybody have experience with Wheel Bearings?

Thanks

- Matt, so does this sound like a wheel bearing to you?? RHD MAX (93 SE) 10:26:39 9/14/2002 (0)
- Also make sure the large axle nut is torqued properly. that's probably the biggest reason tons of wheel bearings are going bad right now. nm Matt (93SE) 10:16:13 9/14/2002 (0)
- Wheel bearings are a PIA. check/replace it ASAP, as if you don't, it will eat away at the hub too and you'll end up replacing them both. $$$$$. nm Matt (93SE) 10:15:16 9/14/2002 (1)
  - from what i can tell--> RHD MAX (93 SE) 10:25:35 9/14/2002 (0)
