silvershark44 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Finnally after 3 weeks the mechanics just rang me up to say the rear wheel bearing and hub have been changed!!! Yay! And after driving mums mazda demio (yes that was the slowest car on gran turismo) for 3 weeks, I suddenly remember how good it is to drive a real car again!!

RobSheffield Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Nice one! Bearing gone so badly that hub had gone? Thats 4 or 5 members with similar problems, yours was nearside too like mine wasnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats 4 or 5 members with similar problems, yours was nearside too like mine wasnt it? Yep exactly that!! I think this should class this as a common problem now. As I had a hell of a time diagnosing it, maybe a sticky should be made for it somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Larger/non standard wheels or not? Always seems to be the nearside Thread here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvershark44 Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Nope mine has 100% stock wheels, and it happened to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRASUZUKI Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 So, at what sort of miles are these going? I'm thinking prevention rather than cure. Mine's got 91,000 miles on it, should I be thinking about it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Mine has 46,000 so i dont know if its mileage related! Toyota changed the rear wheel bearing during/after production to a one piece bearing which might or might not be a sign that they foresaw problems!

Guest mk47 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 mines dead aswell.. nearside. car has now touched 80,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvershark44 Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 70K approx, maybe a little lower, need to calculate it because its been converted. Definitely sounds like this should be a sticky. I made about 4 threads about this problem, and no one on here could give me a answer as to what it is. If anyone wants to make a sticky, please feel free to use the video I posted of the noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezz Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I tend to agree. Sold a lot of n/s hubs lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's poor for a bearing failure to occur that early. I'll put my head back in the sand for a bit I think...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
