i just want to see many peolpe has or had problems with wheel bearings.so far i've had my 99 tib for two years and i replaced four and now the last ones i replaced are going again .

 

i've heard of stories where the bearing go early and often. i just had my car checked out thoroughly because i ordered rims, and i wanted to make sure that nothing was wrong w/ my car before i invested in rims.

luckily everything is all good laugh.gif

sucks to hear about the bearings. go to your nearest Sears Auto. the part has lifetime gaurentee, with 6mo/6000 mile warranty on labor. that lifetime part gaurentee is hard to pass up!! if it goes bad again, you won't have to pay for it!

 

my car is an 01, and i have had both front wheel bearings replaced. one last spring, one this spring. they were still under warranty, but next year my warranty runs out 02.gif

 

wheel bearings don't cost much at all, do they? Pretty simple change out if I'm not mistaken? I could imagine it's a PITA dealing with all the time though.

 

I am on my third on the passengerside.. still have the original on the driver's

 

i had the frist one covered under warranty at 60thou km's then at 80 thou that same one and the two rears when at the same time now at 90 thou the rears are shot again. but there coverd under the one year parts warranty. but if they go again i have to pay .

 

yea.. I think this summer I am going to do my rears as preventive maintance

 

Make sure you get a dust cap / boot when you get your bearing and snap ring replaced
The dust boot's part # is 49548-25000A
Helps keep dust and dirt outta there.
Was NOT in the Car from the factory, so this was an after thought for Hyundai.

 

for the rear bearings?

 

I just put new rear wheel bearings in the rear, at 80k, it cost me $350 for both rear hubs. They were easy to install though. I researched on the front ones, and they look like a PITA. The rears had dust caps from the factory but the fronts didn't. I was wondering why they would do that, gonna go down later this week and get some for the front.
