Wheel bearing?

ALLWHEELDRIVE · June 2009

I just purchased my wagon a few weeks ago and it came with this noise which sounds like a wheel bearing. I talked to a few people in which one said they replace the wheel bearing as a hub assembly. and the other said just buy a bearing and have it pressed in. Whats the best way to find out its 100% sure that its the wheel bearing and what else can make this noise.

Jack that corner up and check the wheel for play. You can try and rotate the wheel while you're at it to see if you can hear the sound (or even feel it).

If your wagon is FWD and it's a front bearing, it's just that - only the bearing. If it's a rear bearing, then yes, it's sold as a hub assembly. If it's 4WD, then it's straight bearings, both front and rear.

i jacked the car up and tried moving the wheel from 12&6 o clock and no movement

Ya! Reading owns me. If I'd bothered to read your username, I guess I could have deduced that.

My 4WD needed the front bearings pressed on.

i stumbled upon this, would this be the correct part and does anyone know where I could get one any cheaper.

If the illustration/photo is accurate, that is for the FWD. Here's what you're looking at for the 4WD:

No. You only need #1 from the 1st link. Good luck though. I tried to get some early this spring, and after waiting 4 months for the backorder to come in, I went with the CRV parts instead (bigger spline/hub/bearings, won't work with the OEM Wagon trailing arms or axles).

I was only trying to show you what the parts that are in your wagon now look like with those diagrams.

it will only let me purchase 2 of those parts.
