Hi,
Would you mind describing the noise? I have a right side noise as well. Thanks, Jack |

I chilled the bearing and then started it with a rubber mallet. Then used hydraulic press per the PMB video.
The harbor freight 20 ton press has proven itself to be one of those tools I wish I had bought years ago. It is not a tool you use a lot but there is nothing better for those times when it is appropriate. Kind of like an impact screwdriver or a handgun, rarely needed but when the time comes you will be glad you have one. |

You might as well replace the bushings also while your in there!! Can you please clarifying "bushings"? I'm sure it's obvious to someone with experience, but it's not to me. There's nothing in the diagram called "bushing". Thank you. @DennisV Reference is to the trailing arm rubber bushings |

No need to replace the bushings if you're leaving the trailing arms in place (unless they are shot).

This job was done on my car recently and the mechanic said he had to drop the exhaust to get the drive shaft out to change the rear wheel bearing?

Yes he completed the job. I was just a bit surprised that the driveshaft couldn't be removed without dropping the exhaust

I don't remove the exhaust unless absolutely necessary given how easy it is to strip threads in the heads. |

I changed both awhile ago, had the bearings packed in dry ice overnight. Slipped right in. Did the same for the hubs, after things neutralized.

What’s the life expectancy for a rear bearing ?
And, are the different brands equal in quality ? Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

What’s the life expectancy for a rear bearing ? And, are the different brands equal in quality ? Life = 100k miles if using a quality bearing and installed properly. Not including AX and track use. Normal road use. Proper installation and bearing pre-load (via proper hub stub torque) is critical to getting that kind of life. If I had to guess, I’d bet 40% of DIY installs are done incorrectly resulting in much shorter life. All brands are not the same quality. Stick to the major suppliers. GKN, FAG, NSK, Timken. There are lots of other engineering details like bearing class but outside the scope of this forum. Buy from reputable suppliers and they should be taking care of the fitment details on your behalf. |
