I found out that my new crx has a bad wheel bearing (clunk noise when driving). I went to the junkyard and found couple 'em. However, they all look like it has play in it and figure i might as well get a brand new one. Now, does anyone know where I can find 'em cheap or keep on going to look for a good on in the junkyard?
And uh...only 88-91 civics would work right (or I can use integra or other cars?)

Jeff-

Just go to Pep Boys, Auto Zone, Advance Auto. They should be about 69-89 bucks with lifetime.

I went to autozone and they don't have 'em in stock. However, pepboy has 'em but it's only the bearing (not the whole hub assembly). shouldn't i get the complete hub assembly instead of just the wheel bearing?

i was looking for one for my car too and as far as i know you have to buy the whole hub

 

HEY, your in luck, I have a full set of SI hubs for sale. It includes spindles, hubs, rotors, calipers and all. I bought them do use on a 1990 STD civic to B16 swap, but the assclown totaled the car before the instal date. lol PM for details

The reason AutoZone and such don’t stock such items at each RETAIL location is they are available usually the next day or so from the WAREHOUSE. This keeps COSTS down.
Wheel bearings aren’t like oil filters and belts…

Would you rather pay say $65.00 and have to wait a day.. or pay $135 and have each store stock it?

So far a getting just the bearing, that’s want I’d do, but more than likely you need a press to press the olds one off, and press the new ones on. If you don’t have a press now’s the time to hunt one up.. And if you have a wife it’s a good time to justify the purchase of a press.


PS: Don’t waste your time with “used” bearings.

 

i have a question on this subject..i have a click/clunking sound on my right front wheel...but only under breaking....and the cv boot is cracked over there...so i dont know if its gonna be the wheel bearing or cv joint.....i looked at the brakes and they seemed fine...what do you guys think?..thanks Jeff
