My mechanic just replaced buth my front wheel bearings about a few months ago. The car ran so much better for a few weeks after that, but started making the same noises again. Has anyone had the same issue where the bearing replacement didn't "take" the first time? Is this a common occurrence?

 

the mechanic who replaced your wheel bearings shouid have told you to come back after a month or so . and retightened them once they were bedded in this is pritty common with new bearings and only takes ten minutes or so to nip them back up

 

I just took it back in this morning. He's going to look at it and may have to replace them AGAIN....

 

hope theres no charge he shouid have told tou they wouid need nipping up

 

I asked him about the bearings, he said if that was it, he would replace for free...
I just got off the phone with him... He tells me it's not the bearings. He thinks it might be the transmission? Would that have anything to do with it? The vibration is only coming from the passenger side front wheel?....

 

get hold of the front while car is parked one hand on each side grip the back of the wheel with your fingers and pull and push if there is any movement or slackness the wheel bearing needs replacing cant understand why he has replaced the bearings if he knew they were not the problem sounds as thou he is making excuses to get out of not doing the job correctly ask him why they were not nipped up after a month or so

 

hey guys i have a question i did my rear right wheel bearing the inner and outer one about a month and a half or so, what exactley is "nipped"?
Thanks
