Possible Wheel bearing failure - 2002 S60 AWD 171K kms

Post by kdaide »

Hello-
I have an '02 S60 AWD with approx 171K kms. I have already replaced the driver side rear wheel bearing. After the replacement there was still a sound coming from the rear but much less then before. The garage said that it was most likely from the tires which were pretty low on tread. I have moved to my winter tires and the sound still is there. I also have noticed that if I turn hard right (which causes the car's weight to shift to the drivers side) the sounds goes away until the weight is back to being evenly distributed.

Does this sound like another wheel bearing failure?

Thanks, Kevin

I searched everywhere...even eeuroparts.com and they do have them but $175 for that right side wheel bearing (hub)...cheaper at IPD: http://www.ipdusa.com/product.asp?strPa ... rtRecord=1
