Please Help Toyota Supra Wheel Bearing Problem

[nosking_178]

hey every1, i know this is a skyline forum but i thought i wud seek for advice here as well for my toyota supra non turbo.

and i really really appreciate it if any1 could help me in any way at all.

afer selling my r32 i got myself a non turbo supra (as im stil on Ps) but i am getting really frustrated and its costing me alot of time and effort getting my wheel bearing fixed all the time.

this is what happened. when i bought the car there was a rear right wheel bearing problem and so i bought the parts and got my dad to install it...

it was fine for the next 6 months then played up again and i was suprised because usually these things last long...

so i thought my dad must not have installed it correctly the first time so i went to my local mechanic and got him to have a look and he cleaned it and greased it or sumthing and it was fine for another month then it played up again..

so i bought another brand new wheel bearing (because i thought when it played up i still drove it and did some damage to bearing as i had to go to work and uni as it was my onli way of commuting). so i got the mechanic to install it but now its playing up again!!! can some please help me......

could it be something like the camber, struts, etc anyting like that affecting it.... PLEASE HELP!....

its a non turbo toyota supra. jza80

much appreicated..

thanks in advance all.

whats the problem with the bearing? is it noisy?

[nosking_178]

hey thanks for ur reply much appriciated.

well its not that noisey at the moment, just a slight noise... but its the exact same noise as how it started off and i really dnt wanna ruin this wheel bearing (as there not cheap) and buy another one so im not gnna drive it until i can find a solution.

i been researching.... but no luck at all :S

possibly an issue with the axle stub or the hub.

[nosking_178]

i replaced the entire wheel hub and wheel axle just today and so fair its running perfect only thing is its making a grinding noise which i think i over tighten the hand brake so ill fix that tomorrow or whenever i get a chance and update youse all

one more thing.... the new wheel hub i got doesnt have ABS ! :|... and i told the wreckers specifically that i needed abs and he said yes and i forgot to check it when i picked it up.... is there any way around doing this..... without buying another wheel hub... its not that important but annoying having a bright orange abs light infront on me on my dash.. thanks all.

it will probably be affecting your braking performance slightly (it may be thinking that that wheel isn't moving), so it would be a good idea to get an ABS hub. i doubt there is any way around it, but i couldn't say for sure.
