I gotta work on my car...
It has like a bazillion miles on it. So many in fact that the odometer is on strike or something...
There is a growl coming from the RF wheel and I looked and didn't see a bear or dog or anything under there. I'm guessing a wheel bearing. It's also wearing the tire on the inside... FYI, don't buy chinese shocks. They don't last terribly long and you'll just get Bilsteins in the end...

I would hate to hear that you waited too long to change that wheel bearing....

If you haven't tackled the broken odometer at this point, are you sure you want to tackle a wheel bearing?

Changed bearings, races and seals on that side. The old ones looked OK... Still got a rumble up front. The parts store only had 1 set in stock.

Don't be disheartened wheel bearing trouble can be deceptive - it could be the other side that is causing the noise.

Sometimes it's hard to tell if it's front or rear... And rear bearings are DIFFICULT to change...
