BUG EYE REAR BEARINGS ???

[darren_connor]

Is it common for rear bearings to go on Bug eyes ?? I cant explain the noise lol but I know there is something not right, hoping its not Driveshaft

Any advice will be greatly accepted

Cheers

funny you should mention this, my car got its MOT today and the only thing that was needing done was a rear bearing, min is a classic BTW

[darren_connor]

Im up getting another oil change at AWD on saturday so will get Grant and the guys to check it out, took it to a local garage and the guy said that cos of all the suspension drop links that he didnt have a clue how to fix it lol

Just had a rear passenger side bearing fixed on my 2005 Blobeye. Known weak point apparently.

dude thats half of what mine is gonna cost!! [:|] 

[st3ph3n]

It's a great price. I paid thrice that in labour just to have mine looked at!

Which was the last straw as far as ever going to the stealers is concernd.

[RA Dunk]

mine was 126 + VAT, still to find out wot bloody time is going to cost [:S] here was me thinking i was getting off lucky with that being the only thing wrong with the MOT test as well [:|]

[darren_connor]

Well my car should still be under warranty so once the AWD guys have advised me what it is i will give the "Stealers" a call and see if bearings are covered.

I know that my car has Jap spec rear discs (290mm) off a SVX and speaking to Grant @AWD he said i may need the bigger bearing size, so roll on saturday ! Car ownership is never easy !!

 mine took 2 hours at t&c acid. think there was a slight problem getting the bearing off which is why it too that long.

 still havent got my car back yet, last i heard it was all going t!ts up! []

I have a rear bearing kit (both sides) for a classic if they're any use ?

Bought them in error.

[darren_connor]

Cheers Johnny,

I Will ask Grant if they would fit, think they have to be 100mm not the usual 90 mm

Turns out its not a wheel bearing, its the rear damper leaking oil ( oh Dear) Gives me an excuse to put a set of new Coilovers on lol, oh also have a leaking rocker cover gaskets and my rear drop links are shot lol

Car ownership is pain sometimes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
