Default 850R front bearings

I recently bought a 97' 850R wagon with 140,000 miles. My buddies and I went to Vegas last weekend from Los Angeles and I started hearing some noise coming from the front left of the car. I got a small amount of vibration with some light grinding noise. I think it is the front bearings, does this sound right? Anyone know of a good place to get the rebuild kit?


Thanks,
Chet

Sounds like it might be it.
Check out FCPgroton.com There is no rebuild kit you need to buy the assembly.

Great! I found the hubs on the site you sugested.
If the bearing is the only thing that is worn, do I need the hardware kit or just the hub?
thanks

You do not need the hardware kit. If it makes you feel safer put a few drops of loctite on the threads and install them.

great, thank you
on FCGROTON.com they show an aftermarket hub. Would you recomend that or the OEM part?


Thanks again for all of your help
