When I purchased the car, both wheel bearings needed to be replaced. One was screaming, and the other just started to get noisy. Parts were about $100 CDN for one side, and $80 for the other and labour was less than 2 hours each. Easy Peasy repair if you have a press. I don't have a press, so I used a 20 ton jack and the draw bar of the tractor. It's been 2 years and about 80 000 kms since then and one bearing is starting to get a little noisy...it's probably the $80 one. |

Both the front struts were leaking or had completely leaked out all of the oil. The struts were performing pretty well, but I could tell a small difference after replacing them. I replaced the whole strut assembly because the ease of replacement was worth the extra costs. |

Left rear hub bearing was growling for about 3000 miles. when making right turns in road noise would be less.seems that more pressure on bearing made it less noisy.I jacked up that wheel and the whole hub assembly was loose (Worn). After replacing left rear hub bearing which was bad,I noticed the same growling noise coming from the right rear, so I replaced the hub bearing and it fixed the problem. |
