Wheel bearing

Akifumi Hotta · Post by **Akifumi Hotta** » Fri Sep 23, 2011 11:58 am

Hi,
I wanted to hear your advice.
My AN600 needs to replace the wheel bearng (front), and I found the after market wheel bearing (Timken) saying it fitting to AN600.
Do you have any other recommendation for the wheel beaing?
Sorry for keep asking questions, but I wanted to make sure if I'm doing right thing..
Thanks,
Aki

Hi,
Don't apologize for asking questions! It is one of the reasons this group exists!
I don't think anyone on the group can confirm the wheel bearing from Timken is correct without the part number.
Also, if it were my car I would replace all of the front wheel bearings even if only one has gone bad.

Thanks for your quick response, Kevin!
You are right.
The part I found was Timken TM305D.

Aki,
     You may not need to replace all 4 (2 on each side). With the wheel (and tire) mounted, jack the car off the ground and grab the tire at the top and bottom. If the bearings are bad, you will be able to rock the tire/wheel assembly and feel some free play. If the wheel bearings are bad,   you will feel free play and you may hear some noise. If you feel free play, replace both bearings on that side. If you don't feel any free play, the bearings are still good and do not need replacement.
    While there are many reasons why the bearings fail, two most likely causes are a damaged CV boot and a damaged dust seal on the bearings. You can visually inspect both. To see the dust seal, you need to remove the front brake rotor. The bearings have a number stamped on them by the manufacturer. This number can be used to cross reference to bearings from other companies. I have seen them for sale on eBay and I have also purchased them from Napa Auto Parts. The bearing sold by Napa was cheaper with the dust seal attached on one side.
BTW, any company which sells bearings should be able to help you.
     If anyone needs the part numbers I bought from Napa, post a msg here and I'll go take a look in my parts bin.
good luck,
Dale
