Hi guys,

 

I am wondering...short of going to a dealer, where could I purchase a driver's side front wheel hub? And does anybody know what causes stalling out issues? Our car will stall then restart and run just fine...

as for the hub you could check out your local junkyards.....or browse e-bay you might find something.......as for the stalling issue it could be a number of things....fuel pump, ignition problem....just to name a few.....

you mean just the part with the studs or the whole housing/hub/bearing assembly?

 

IF you mean the whole steering knuckle - try a junkyard. for a bearing - auto parts store

Thank you very much...hmm...replaced the fuel pump and filter...replaced the spark plugs...could the wires cause this too?

We replaced the bearing...pressed it out and then oput it back in...but the whole steering wheel moves pretty freely...so i think it's the whole assembly that needs replacing...is steering knuckle the proper part name? I'm not stupid...just refer to it as the hub and maybe that's why I'm not finding it....?

 

Thanks a lot, Angel

steering moves freely...hmmm - you mean the steering wheel moves but the steering is "bad"? That's a sign of a steering rack problem. you need to verify that the steering is "tight" and the ends move when the wheel is turned (not "hesitate' and then move). It's pretty hard to diagnose a steering problem with "words"

 

on the front, the part that has the axle going into it is called a 'steering knuckle'. The steering connects to it thru the tie rods one on each side. IF the suspension is bad it will all wobble around - the ball joint is bad. getthe car liffted up and check whether the wheel (tire) moves when you push/pull against the top and bottom of the tire; then the front and rear. if top/bottom moves, you need to do a ball joint. if front/rear moves, the tie rod end is probably bad since you said you did the bearing

 

if the steering gear - rack and pinion assembly - is bad, you'll know it soon enough - particularly if an inside tie rod end is bad - it's behind the rubber boot near the transmission.
