I would suggest ordering the original factory service manuals from Helm Publishing.
They are the original publishers of the service manuals provided to GM dealers.
You can view manuals available at www.helminc.com.
Good luck.

HOW DO I CHANGE THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS IN A 1993 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LARADO?

no they are bad, unless its brakes
a real mech , checks both.
its one or the other, or worse. bad axle gear/bearings/

the fsm covers both. ever seen the real book? on this car.
the ZJ book is here and free

http://www.jeep4x4center.com/knowledge-base/index.htm?utm_source=cj#service
posted like 100+ times, now......

keep in mind jeeps may have different axles.
2wd, 4wd, and locking axles (options)
models 30, 35 and 44 so the details vary that is why the book wins here. the real book wins.

diagnosis is an other matter, i have an electronic stethoscope
that allows me to drive and hear each bearing. cost me $35.

id inspect brakes first. after all they are in clear easy view.
make sure the brake parts are not seized. that includes
the Emg. brake parts !!!
does you car have ABS brakes?
some have drums others have rear disc brakes, the linked FSM
covers both.

for example disc calipers can fail in many ways
guides seized.
pistion seized
emg brake part stuck.
cracked rotors, or warped.

so that be first a real brake inspection on side that makes noise.

if the brakes are ok, then axle bearings are checked next
if you feel radial play they are BAD.
and more. ask.

How do I remove drive axle on a 1992 geo prizm

cv axle service is covered in the FSM and at alldata.com

the books and online have lots of photos,sorry, im not doing all that....

  3. Loosen the wheel nuts.
  4. Elevate and safely support the car.
  5. Remove the front wheel.

  7. Use a ball joint separator such as GM J-24319-01 or equivalent to remove the tie rod ball joint from the knuckle.

  9. Using a puller such as GM J-25287 or equivalent, push the axle from the hub.
The Prizm axle can be separated from the hub using a brass or plastic hammer. Nova requires the use of the puller.

Purchased focus sport 2006 model no service manual. Mileage 43,000 kms. Need to know service intervals either time/mileage perhaps a copy of the service schedule will suffice.

These maintenance intervals come from the maintenance interval calculator
at www.autozone.com, using a starting point of 25,800 miles (43000 km), and
assuming 1000 miles (1666 km) driven per month, and "severe driving conditions," which
are actually normal usage characteristics, such as frequent short trips, urban driving, waiting in traffic, driving in hot weather, trips under 16 km in cold weather, etc.

    Looking for a DIY manual for a 2002 Lincoln Continental.I have already checked with Haynes. They don't have one. Any reccomendations?

    I refer to the Chilton one at local library. Not too good on FWD with large engine since book there it covers Tarus and town car as well. The CD referenced below sounds a lot like a 2000 Ford workshop information CD that includes a lot of the same information on the Lincoln Continental. I purchased it on eBay. I mostly use it and library book to educate myself before I go talk to a service adviser. I only do the basics myself.
