I think I have the same problem. I have a hum coming from the front, I dont think its cv joints because its pretty consistent. Wheel bearings were my first guess.

LMK how you make out

 

links?

my tip would be don't order it from Fred Beans if you want it anytime soon.

other than that its a pretty straight forward swap.

 

Part Number MB914617. It come completely assembled with new bearign and hub assembly. Both sides are the same. I'm ordering now.

 

Chu, buy new wheel bearing (glad I could help).

Are they sold as hub bearings or just the bearing?

Andy, whenever you'd like. I'll be at the beach this weekend. Text me to set something up.

 

Spoken like a true BMW owner.

I take it it's the one with the misc T3 on it? That car is black, correct?

Hello, Daniel.

You sure its just not your tires? I can't imagine you need a wheel bearing already, and those Dunlops can be loud as hell... Even Marc commented on how loud mine are when he rode in my car a few weeks ago.

I spy your f/s sig there big guy... BBK Full would be good for you. That and some 9.5's.

 

^ I am about to get my rubber flipped at RT in the next couple days... I've been thinking about just getting the RPF1's at that time since the tires will already be off the wheels. I also wanted to powdercoat them, but I dunno if thats going to happen.

 

This job is not always easy depending if your wheel bearing / hub is rusted to axle like mine was. This cost me an axle boot that got torn in the process. That was my drivers side, passenger side came off lickety split.

 

I'd like to get mine flipped before the 16th.

 

which beach? I'll be at OCNJ

 

already? seems a little soon... you sure it can't wait till after the event on the 16th?

 

What do you mean already? I haven't done it yet... I know I mentioned it before, but I said I would wait till after the 5/13 event we did.

 

I shouldn't have to much issue. The front axles have been off before, and I took the time to put anti-seize on everything. More worried about the 4 bolts holding the hub to the knuckle, but it shouldnot be too bad. i will get extended studs pressed in when the new hubs come.

 

crap my trip to Vegas was over $6k in expenses all said and done!

 

What size? If its 18" or smaller my shop can do it for 17.50. Mount and rebalance but its a first gen spin balancer. James had his done there.

 

17"

Is this the same shop my zaust is sitting at?
