I have a reanult 19 16v hatch that I have spent around 5k in repairs alone! Including new engine, gearbox, ABS, cooling etc... Now the bloody front bearings have gone and I am desperately after a set of decent front hubs as I believe the housing on mine are knackered. Also after a decent rear axle with hubs if possible
Greatful for any info.
Thanks |

Cheers mate your a legend. Drove my car into work today, think my wheel is gonna come off. The bearings are to the point now where the dash is vibrating when I turn left! Think I should probably stop driving it.
Cheers |

Yes you should, you don't want to be in a car when a bearing collapses..... |
