wheel bearing?

[Sorath]

i just called option import and they said it costs 450 to do? sound about right or no? i always though wheel bearings were easy to do.

[gretz]

could be 450 - do you have to buy the bearing or is it a hub assembly?

I would give them the bearings you want pressed in

[hoamic11]

Front or Rear?

I think that's a bit much as for me about $180ish for a rear hub assembly for me when i bought it from speedtech.

[Primer_Drift]

Front or rear? $450 is about right for a front wheel bearing including parts..

edit goddamn u.. ^^

[BokCh0y]

Yep sounds right. Rears are usually more expensive to do.

Do you know if that's for the whole thing including the hub or just the barring?

I just had a front and rear done and it cost me like $1300 with labour. Parts were cheap.

[talonboi]

pretty sure its just back right side.

thats pretty lame though i thought it wouldve been an hour labour + bearing is like 20-30 bux

wheel bearing on the rears of bolth STi and Skylines are very difficult to do, they require the removal of a few links, and the parking brake assembly, subaru IIRC charges out 3.5 hours for a rear bearing, the front are fare easier to do.

I got my right rear done in my Jetta and it was like 225 with parts.

I got both front ones done in my old Maxima for 250 with parts

If Subaru's require more labour to do then posting about Jettas and Civics is irrelevant.

OP, what car is it? Do you have details of the estimate? Some bearings come as a single assembly and cost more than bearings only. I've found that packing bearings in is usually less reliable than buying a new bearing/assembly.

wheel bearings vary depending on vehicle, some are just the bearings and others need the whole hub replaced, telling him what it cost you on some random car will not help him get a ball park of price

[88jbody]

I PM'd you the book labour times and price of bearings

[Sorath]

its on my 06 sti

That sounds about right
option import has always been good to me.
