OK, taking her in.

Need an oil change, too lazy to do it myself.

While it's in, they'll

1 - change the oil.

2 - reset the service indicator

3 - reset the SRS light (hooray!)

4 - check out the drive shaft -> replace the guibo if needed

5 - check the bearings (getting some intermittent growling at lower speeds)

If the bearings are going, how much of a pain in the ass are they to replace? BMA makes reference to a special puller tool and 214 ft/lbs of torque ... maybe I should just pay the shop to do it..?

TIA.

This is the dealership I assume? How much did they quote you to reset the SRS alone? Just wondering...

some people can actually afford dealer service, the problems I find disturbing is that the dealer is the best place to **** your **** up.

you mean the rear or front wheel bearings or the driveshaft center bearing?

[liquidtiger720]

Front wheel bearings are cake.

It took ~ 1 hour for me to do them.


I have 2 new dust shields if you need them...just pay for postage + $5.

im having the dealer pull them right now (not gonne move no matter how hard i tried), hopefully i should get the strut assembleys back tomorrow sans bearings and upper mount.

Nope, local indy. Nashville Autohaus, if anyone's interested; they're honest, quick, know their stuff, and not too expensive.

[ProZak]

Front wheels. Hopefully the center bearing on the shaft is ok.

[ProZak]

I may take you up on that. I'll let you know later today.

The only difficult thing about the front wheel bearings are the torque specs. I also lucked out and picked up a 3/4 drive socket and breaker bar that fit the nut. A 6 foot length of pipe on the breaker bar took it right off.
