so only real big issue is getting the bearing pressed out then pressed back in?

Out of curiosity how was a bad wheel bearing diagnosed? You can get the entire new carrier for $260 and then just swap it out. You may be able to get a good one from a junk yard for a lot less. A new one gives you the added bonus of a new carrier bushing.

with the car on jackstands and with the rimstill on you can wobble the rim,i looked up the bearing at autozone they only go from $70-$90,i rather spend less than a 100 vs 260 for no reason??

You just have to really make sure you use a press and press in the new bearing properly. If you dont have the tools to do the job properly I'd either take it to a shop or go with putting the whole carrier on there. 260 is alot less than a shop will charge you for labour to put it in.

The book at my shop says to charge out for 2.8hrs for a Rear wheel bearing and at 110$/hr ( average cost for shop time around here ) thats like 300$ just in labour!

you need to eliminate the rear bushings and UCA if thats all you did....

LS400BOY

Thats why i will do most of the work then just take it up the street and have them press it out and press in the new 1 then i go install it at the house

LS400BOY

should i go ahead and replace the seal to? the seal sits in front of the bearing correct?

Get someone to move the rim while you are under the car. Look and see exactly what is moving before you go any further. How many miles?

LS400BOY

already did,its not the lower bushing,it moves back in fourth while the rim is on,so thats a sign of the bearing correct?? 270thousand miles

and what about the control arm bushings an upper ball joint...?

LS400BOY

damn didnt knew there was a balljoint in the rear? mite have to double check everything 1 more time since you brought that up

LS400BOY

ok just came back from outside,when wobbling it from under the car,i dont see any bushings or bailjoints moving but its definitely moving from the center of the hub, so that means it is for sure the bearing right? could it be something else??
