i assume you mean **** when you type *****,just say ****.this sounds like the rear tires may be out of blance or has a defect in the tire(s).a wheel bearing won`t cause a vibration unless the bearing is so bad its about to or is coming apart.a wheel bearing will make a noise like a humming or growling noise.have teh wheel balance check and the condition of the tires checked for belt separation or bulges.
the sway bar links need to be replaced, but would not cause a complaint like wheel bearings were bad. You checked the front? so what does the rear axle oil have to do with that? you sure its not tires? if the tires are wearing irregularly, they will make noise. the noise is either front or rear. Dont take anything apart unless you are certain thats where the noise is from. Wheel bearing noise will change pitch if you turn like you are changing lanes or will make noise while turning one way, then will be quiet the other way.
advance auto parts total price for all bearing, front and rear and seals come to $70.00. labor should be about that much(plus cost of grease) good luck
Sounds to me like a wheel bearing is going out, get the wheel checked out by a mechanic, and see if that is the problem, but it sounds to me like a bearing issue.
Go to Jeep and buy a bearings, seals, and collar. The bearing is held in place on the axle by a keeper collar. This must be cut off to get the old bearing and seal off. Use a wizz wheel to cut it and then whack it with a chisle
To get the axle out. Remove rear diff cover, and wheel and start taking apart. It's not a terrible job, but if you aren't very mechanically inclined, take it to a shop. Make sure you use the correct fluid in the differential.
Yep - our cars are known for eating wheel bearings (I have a 99 2.8 quattro). I just did my rear left, which was howling, and now that it is quiet, I can hear the rear right going bad. The B5 chassis cars (96-01) are known for wheel bearing, control arm, and cruise control failures almost as much as they're known for fantastic driving and excellent traction in bad weather.
