Front wheel bearing change - anything I need to know?
Posted: Fri May 16, 2014 11:42 am
I hit a bloody big curb at speed and now I have +80mph groan from that corner, and jacking up the wheel reveals an unhealthy amount of play so the wheel bearing must be shot.
I'm going to order one up now. Has anyone here changed a front bearing? Just be nice to have any heads-up before I start (I have a press). I'm used to looking up procedures on the net but can't find anything regarding the Bongo.

. Secondly, I know they're not cheap to replace, but it were me, I'd change the other side at the same time. I'd also get 4 wheel alignment done. I hit a pot hole with my Volvo which destroyed the tyre. Stuck a brand new tyre on & within 3 months the tyre was worn down to the legal limit. Had proper 4 wheel laser alignment done which showed all the wheels were out, but that one was particularly bad.
