ya gotta do the whole hub. it does sound like a bad WB. does it get worse on hard cornering?

 

[speedytang]

Hub, it takes about 20 minutes to replace. If you could get a bearing not worth all the work to press in and out. Jack the car up and grab the wheel it will move all around even with the caliper still on the disc if bad.

Yep its worse on cornering.... anyone wanna tell me how to do this

 

[Adam95GT]

alright doesent happen in reverse only forward... now its making a creeking rubbery sound..... then the pop noise.... increases with speed.... i had it up and shook the hell out of my tire... and there was no play at all or any noise when i spun the tire... i cant figure out what this is and noone i know is around today....

if it was the hub it would make a wurring noise.

Well... I went to take a look at the wheel bearing... and one of my lugs basically fell off.... i took alook and turns out it was broken off.... i dont know y it would make this crazy ass noise... anyone know how to replace a lug on the hub... or do you have to replace the whole thing...

Lugs are simple. Just take the caliper and rotor off, tap it out with a hammer, and tap the new one back in.

You might find a problem finding the right size though, when some of mine broke, it took them about an hour to find the right size. they had to actually get someone to drliver them from a local parts store.

And if you dont feel like doing it, most tire shops charge like $10-15 to do one.

Good Luck

autozone had mine in stock... lol $1.29 and a new lug for $1.99 .... yea im gonna do it tomorrow... ive read you can do it without removing the caliper and stuff... not sure how but aparently you can spin it around and then there is a spot you can knock it out....
