Re: Wheel Bearing replacement

Until the start of 2016 I did, then I had a legal issue that didn't wrap up til Christmas time, by which point pretty much every other aspect of my life was a wreck from neglect. Definitely no fault of the car, besides the dreaded ABS pump issue she has been an incredible car. But basic transportati...

Re: Wheel Bearing replacement

Thanks for that info mooman. A mate at a large dealer group got pricing for me, even at below trade price it will be about a grand to do all 4 corners, plus the front struts are blown, exhaust manifold or gasket is leaking, aircon needs regassing (or something more) so it looks like my 9 years of CJ...

Re: Wheel Bearing replacement

Out of curiosity, what is the mileage you have on the car? 243,000 :mrgreen: . I suspect the bigger issue would be the creek crossings washing out the grease. Bumblebee and quismiff, I had assumed the bearings would be auto supplier specific, we buy a lot of small bearings for rebuilding electric m...

Wheel Bearing replacement

I've got plenty of experience with trailer hubs but no...

Re: Old CJ, new member

Robust is an understatement, I used it for pizza delivery in a rural area for 8 months (200kms a night wasn't unusual), carried over half a tonne multiple times (scrap metal not pizzas!), and been up roads that 4WD owners get nervous about. The air intake up high helps with creek crossings :-D

Interior light not working?

Has anyone else had this issue or am i looking at something like a wire chewed by a mou...
