93 4dr Vitara: Front Wheel Bearings Noise/Replacement
Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2008 11:36 am
I have a 93 4dr Vitara that makes a horrible noise/severe vibration at around 100kmh; it's far more noticeable when I back off the accelerator. I've recently replaced the rear diff (for a different reason), which i hoped might solve the vibration/noise as well, however it didn't and i still have the noise - it's nothing to do with the gearbox since it's not dependent on being in gear. Also, when the car is sitting on flat ground, there is some movement noticeable when pushing/pulling on the top of the front wheels.
So, the question is, are the bearings adjustable in any way or can they only be replaced, and how likely are front wheel bearings to generate severe vibration and noise?
