Front wheel bearing

Tony500 · Sep 18th, 2017, 23:43

Front wheel bearing is noisy and getting rather annoying. Can hear it a little going straight and no noise when turning left so must be the passengers as it's a lot more louder when turning right.

Anyone replaced theirs yet? What did you use as some are expensive and some are scary cheap?

I had the rear one go and I went with an SKF replacement which has proven solid thus far.

The hub is available with bearing fitted and not too difficult to fit. Unless you have equipment to change the bearing go for the hub option . Prices vary a lot on line but ask your main dealer first re a replacement hub, you may be surprised and you know you will be getting a decent quality bearing fitted

For the bearing at Volvo is about £220. I've just fitted a pair of FAG from EuroCarParts that were about £70 each after the usual discount code. Avoid PartsForVolvoOnline - one failed after about 10k and the other after just 1k!
