Wheels are about to fall off! What could it be?
#23
I completed the same job last year but for a different reason. I had hub run-out. Normally you would just replace the wheel bearing however when I brought it into the dealership for advice even they said that they might not be able to get the bearing out of the hub (as it is a press design) which might require them to buy a new hub/spindle for me as well.
Armed with this knowledge I headed to the junkyard and purchased an entire spindle assy and bearing. It made the job a whole lot easier. If you are going to go ahead and replace the bearing you may want to consider doing the same. Normally the bearings last a heck of a long time so getting a used one is only a small risk. Just make sure you purchase an assy that has the abs sensor attached. They are very difficult to remove from the old hub.
These comments apply for the front bearing only fyi.
