Yup, gonna have to replace both fronts on my 2010 2.5 I kind of figured that was the noise, as I had had to do it to my 2006 2.5 Jetta as well (sold that one, should have kept it.) Your video portion with the road noise confirmed it for me, thanks.

That trick to grab the strut saved my life with my Mk4 man. I could hear it while driving but could not pinpoint the side. I thought it was tore nosie because I got new tires last night but I guess the old tires masked the noise of the bad bearing. The whole time I thought the easy way was to take the entire knuckle off and replace it. I had no idea you could do this without a press!! Your way is still a bit of a challenge but it's a lot better than replacement of the entire knuckle. Now I just need to get outside and make sure that mine has that same 4 bolt design and I know what I need to fix it. My Jetta is my daily driver and my kid is in the car all the time. I need it to be as safe as possible.

I removed the ABS sensor and wirebrushed the hell out of my hubs before treating with rust killer and applying a liberal dose of antiseize. After 190k the old bearings were well rusted in there and a bear to get out. I shouldn't ever have to go in there again, but if I do I'll have an easier time next time.

I've been getting small vibration at exactly 64 mph but I don't believe there's any bearing noise, I've gotta imagine the bearings are my issue tires and wheels are new. The faster I go, the vibration lessens - if I hit 70 or above and set cruise it's not as as bad if not gone. but 60-64mph it's noticeable.

I started barely noticing that I had the dreaded bad wheel bearing noise coming from my left wheel. It is becoming more noticeable. What I would like to know, and I hope you can give me some advice is, how long can I wait until I need to change the wheel bearings. Can they go out on a 6 hour trip or do they have some life left. They are not as bad as the ones in your video and they do not shake the car yet. Thanks in advance.

@Kevin-bp2cw6 жыл бұрын
Hi there , I think you may have mixed-up the wheels when diagnosing which bearing is worn out , if your saying that loading the car to one or the other side of the car would means transferring more weight to that side , I would say the side your steering into would be "loaded". or would have the most weight on it or force exerted on it . but there's always the chance I've forgotten everything I learned in high school physics ?
