I asked around at work, and found a place that quoted me $165 to pull out and press a new bearing, including labor.

Speedy Muffler in Warwick, RI. I'm going this week. He told me he even had the bearing in stock.

Will I need a front end alignment as well? It should probably be done, right? I've had some strange uneven tire wear patterns on the front, and some steering wheel vibration, which I think is linked to the play in the bearing.



So now I'm being told by this new place, that nothing is wrong with the front end. His tech. didn't notice any noise/ rubbing. I told him is is only noticable when turning left...

But he did tell me that I needed to rear tires, and all new rear brakes: pads and rotors. $380 brakes/ $680 with tires. NICE ! I told him that I had one front bearing replaced about a year ago, and was told that the other front would need to be replaced in the next while. He told me that was Bull$h!t ! NICE . I said what about the rubbing noise when you turn right? He said they didn't notice any.

Talk about shysters. THAT IS SPEEDY AUTO on Post Rd. in WARWICK, RI. I called the guy that did the other one a year ago, and was quoted $200-225. I told him what the other shop said, and he just laughed.

How do you know who you can trust in auto. repair?
