Hi All, just put the van through its MOT which it has passed. However there is an advisory on the MOT cert saying a slight noise coming from front OS wheel bearing. I had noticed a whining noise over the past couple of weeks but thought it may have been the gearbox again (Replaced March this year). The van has done 140,000 miles and has the Fiat 15" alloys fitted as standard. I have now priced up the new bearings. Fiat recommends replacing the hub assembly aswell????. Local garage have quoted me £240 which is just the bearing and labour. I can get hold of OS & NS hubs with bearngs already in from a 2010 model for £72 each and fit them myself. Can anybody tell me how to go about doing this myself as it seems a lot easier than having to have the old bearings pressed out:eek:
