  1. Theres a 75% chance its your wheel bearing. I had the exact same problem with my 88 GL wgn. Thought about doing it myself but didn't have the tools. I paid 100$ to get it done but I got a deal (Les Schwab screwed up my quote and only charged me for one of the bearings (30$ a piece from them, 15$ at schucks)). If you can do it yourself should cost less than 50$. Anyway, when I got it back it ran as smooth as silk. Took them an hour. -Tarnel
  2. Sorry bout that. Its a 88 GL WGN non-turbo. Anyway. When driving straight it just grinds a bit. And it lets off and gets worse with weight transfer. (IE turn left its worse, turn right gets better). Don't know if that can still be the bearing but I will try that axle nut thing. I plan on doing the work myself. Les Schwab wanted 30 bucks a bearing and 64 for labor. I can rent special tools from Schucks and I was wondering what special tools I would need to do it. Like I said, I haven't done anything like this before, and don't have much tools to work with. The repair manual I have explains how to do it in bits and pieces, here and there. Thanks for everyones help tho!
  3. Hey all, 1st time posting. Now that thats out of the way, Im pretty sure that one of my wheel bearings on my RF wheel is going bad. I own the repair manual but it doesn't help very much on how to replace it. I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips or short cuts on how to replace the bad bearing. Just to let ya know I haven't worked on cars very much but Im willing to learn. So try to use little kiddy talk when talking about things. -Thanks!
