My 97 5 speed has rolled close to 115000 and over the last 20k the car hasn't held a line terribly well. I had everything on the front end inspected a few months ago and nobody could find any culprit. Just last weekend I rotated the tires and noticed the front wheels weren't very 'tight' because of some play, so I ordered some wheel bearings. I hope to do the job myself.
- According to the FSM, I will need an outer and inner grease seal for each axle. True? - I will need a press to insert and remove the bearing - can someone recommend an affordable and compact press that will be useful for other auto jobs? (There is a Harbor Freight close by to me). What did you use as an adapter to fit to the bearing? Or is it far simpler to drive to a garage and have them press the parts in/out? - Should I be buying CV boots or tie rod boots? - I saw the Motorvate.ca method did not remove the knuckle from the car. If I take the knuckles off, what else should I do?
Thanks a bunch for any answers.
