Hi guys
I have got this nasty grinding noise coming from the front of the car. Worked out that is not the gear box or the stereo so wobbled the passenger side wheel and it kinda made a clunking noise. I think its wheel bearings and have booked it in to have them replaced on Wednesday. Lucky I haven't needed to drive Vern for the last week and a half.
Have I made the right call ?
Would appreciate any comments
Only had the bearings replaced in Feb 2005

Steff if you can't give some advice then just leave this one alone.
If you hadn't been at work yesterday I woulda brought vern and beer down to your place for your opinion......

Thanks mate
I will do when I get home tonight
Hes booked in anyway for whatever the problem is
I sorta think the last bloke that put the bearings in either just didn't or did a shit job at it
