(Q) Wheel Bearing
I have a question about wheel bearing cost and where to go to replace it that’s not expensive?
My cousin has a 2000 Impreza RS and her left rear wheel bearing is bad already you can even hear it from the inside of the car when driving , so she just wants to find out what shop to go for a good price.
I already check Sears where I work and they price around 200+ flat rate installation for one side so yeah is there any cheaper place to go?

Def. check the prices of wheel/brake/alignment shops before taking it to sears. For the same price i'd much rather go to a pro (no offence to any machanics here that work at sears).

why do you think its the wheel bearing? It could be warped rotors, the lips of the pads hanging over the royor due to the pad shifting, bad alignment and tyre wear

ok well when I jackup the car I shake the wheel left/right up/down and the whole rotor moves... when I drive it sounds loud the faster I go and when I told this to one of the old timer at brake shop he said its the wheel bearing.
anyone know some good places to check out thats not expensive? shes not looking to spend alot and she just got the car. oooh yeah is some way when I first look at the car I was thinking it was Justin old GC but I dont know I could be wrong.

nah the machanics that work at Sears Alamana are not bad its the young ones that I worry about ^^
Hay since I work there I dont mind people talking seiit... its just crazy when I see people with nice rims bring there cars in to change tires or do oil when we have alot of new guys not knowing seit about taking care or customers cars, thats why I tell them to have a person who work there for a long time work on my car.
