mk3 si wheel bearing problem?

Postby spike on Thu Dec 21, 2006 5:41 pm

every 6 months im replacing the rear wheel bearings, its driving me mad.

ive had it checked out and they suspect it a stub axle problem and suggested that i should get second hand ones to replace mine as a trial

im looking on here to find out if anyone knows of any upgrades i can do or if anyone knows if its possible to swap the whole axle and drum setup from a mk5?

Just a thought. Is everything straight at the back? Could be something putting strain on the bearing.
