I went to my first car show today. It was the first time I had the car on the streets. I just got the plates and registration done but no inspection so I hoped for no cops. It was cool for first show. There were only like 3 mopars including mine. On the way home the bearing in my front right wheel went out and it started storming like crazy. Are the bearings expensive to replace?

 

they are not too expensive

 

I replaced all four bearings in the front of my Valiant for about $30.

Did you get any pics from the show?

 

i didnt think to bring my camera. I have pics on my phone but i dont have a cord to upload to computer.

 

Back in the day, I would only replace the inner bearings. but when the car gets as old as yours, replace the outer races also. They all come in the same kit, but you'll need a tool to ramove the outer races. you've gone this far, do it right.

 

All it takes is a punch and a hammer to replace the races.

 

If your lucky, I'm not. A hammer usually means that I have to buy two parts that I didnt plan on!

 

If the race is still good and the brakes are good, then there is nothing to worry about, Install the new bears and call it a day. If you see a scratch/mar on the race, replace it.

 

And you can use the old brg as a driver for the new one.
