Noisey wheel bearing

[mither]

Evening all.

Think I got a bad bearing trying to figure out which 1 !?

Are they hard to do/price?  

Anyone done 1 on here?? How to??

Cheers thanks

Hi Steve, I'd be very surprised if your having a wheel bearing failing on a 4 year old car. But I could be wrong. I guess it depends on the mileage

Hello Steve (Sheffield),

Front or back? Mileage? 

I too agree with Steve - it would be unusual for a bearing to become noisy on a car of this age unless the the mileage is high for the year.  (say>100K). Having said that, we thought we were experiencing rear wheel bearing noises on an A3 at around 90k, but in fact the noise was due to tyres ( premium brand) wearing to slight flatting points as they approached 4mm remaining thread. 

Perhaps you could let us have some answers to the questions, and no doubt someone can advise from there. 

Kind regards,

Gareth.
