I found a few sites that tell me how to do it, but so far none that tell me beforehand if the bearings are integrated into the suspension or not... I'm hoping they aren't so it saves me time and probable frustration! :fingersx:

My wheel bearings have been screaming at me, and I've been delaying getting them fixed (i know, i know... horrible idea). But I just got the body work on my car fixed (fkn slick roads when it just started to rain...), so this week I wanna try to get this done.

I know there are peeps on here that can tell me about, or at least point me in the right direction on where to look for, this info.

Thanks in advance!!

p.s. I already got the site ready to purchase the bearings needed for mi carrito :ssmile:

Hm. Thanks guys. Actually Ralph and I spoke about it a lil while ago, when he hooked me up with the guy who did my body work this past weekend. He might do it for me anyway, I don't wanna take that much of a chance at doin it myself and screwing up lol.

I know you got me :wink: Body work came out great! I got a question for you tho, something maybe you could check out on the front left side... there's a click and spring type of sound after i go over a speed bump that wasn't there before the body work was done... I'll let you take a peek :ssmile:
