hey guys i'm pretty new with these Audi's... i have a 96 Audi a4 quattro n i had to replace the rear rotors n pads but now i'm getting a noise from my rear passenger tire and a little vibration. i don't know if there is any bearings in the rear axle that i could change cuz when i go any faster then 40mp it's loud as hell. need some help thanks

 

There is a roller bearing in the housing for the axle the CV joint sits in it. Did this start right after you changed the rotors? If so rip it down and see what's effed up.

 

the brakes were making allot of noise before n i fixed that problem but as soon as i left the garage that noise was still there but not as bad. i just bought the car friday so there is stupid little things that need to be fixed . thanks allot for the help

 

could be the bearings. what kind of noise is it?

while driving dip the car side to side at a light speed of 20-25. if you either hear the noise less or more when the car is loaded on one side or the other then the bearings could be bad respective to the sound. good form to replace.

noise while driving straight? well it could be any number of things. easily...check the tire. is it straight or are there jagged edges with uneven wear? if so, this could be road noise from the tire itself. this means alignment and shocks could be bad.

vibration....balance the wheels.

 

it gets a little quiet when i go side to side when i'm driving so i think i'm going to change the wheel bearings first to see if that fixes the problem... anyone know where i can pick up a cheap set of wheel bearings for the rear?? the cheapest ones i found so far was 150 just fore one bearing.... ouch!! lol thanks for the help

 

i found this website that sells these bearings really cheap but i don't know if there the right ones that i need to replace the rear wheel bearings. i hope this link works to see if someone can let me know if there the right ones. thank u so much again
