could be that, another way of checking is if you hear any excessive road noise, jack the car up and spin the wheels, they should turn freely

wuld the car wobble loads like?wat causes the bearings to fuck up?

think it cost me £50-60 fitted for rear wheel bearing on my sport......at a garage...not vaux though..

just got missus Fiat Seicento front one done...was £58 fitted...

Fronts can be done without a press, but wouldnt recommend drifting them in with a socket and hammer, rears are quite easy just for the bearings, but if you wanna change the races then you gotta drift them out with a hammer and flat head screwdriver, and then use a socket to put them back in.

beast

Jack the car up and hold the wheel top to bottom and see if there's any play.

my wheel got buckled cos the tyre pressure dropped, seriously fucked the wheel and tyre up (pick the reparied wheel up 2morrow ;) )
but how do i check for wheel bearings? if they r fucked?

ive got a 1.0 corsa c

any answers?

do you need a press for the rears or is it just the front?

depends which one. rears are easier than front

Like my conservative guesses then ;)

Um rears shouldn't give you any problems. A Haynes manual might be a worthwhile investment...

my dad did it in about 15 mins

How easy are they to fit......any guides?

eh i got my wheel baring for £8

Another helpfull hint from Timmy

Is £20 vaux or motor factor prices ??

Um... if you're handy with DIY then £20 per bearing and an hour to do it...

Passed me MOT at the weekend, but have been advised that my rear wheel bearings are on their way out.....any idea on price to get these fixed :wave:
