Well, I'm hearing that ever so wonderful grinding noise from the left wheel and my bearing is shot. I put it on the lift and of course I can move it side to side. I have found a good price for the asssembly and I got the instructions off of alldata but it shows a special tool to press the track rod off the wheel bearing housing. It says its an "ejection device" Has anyone ever done this without the tool? If so what did you use? Thanks

 

anyone?

 

i just brought mine to a audi shop and had them do it for 45 bucks.

 

The bearing needs to be pressed in place. any shop with a press can do it.

 

Thamks guys I got everything out and ran the bearing to a shop where they pressed the bearing in and out for free! Then I put it all together and it runs as smooth as glass.Who knew the dealer would be the cheapestplace to buy a wheel bearing.Now I just noticed the damn ball joint in the front passenger side is making a lot of noise have to get in there soon. It just never ends with this car.
