According to one or two people I have asked ( not mechanics ) my car may have a problem with the wheel bearings. I have a Renault Laguna ( 1991 ) . Can anyone tell me how much I will be expected to fork out before I go to a garage.
Thanks

Phone 3 garages and ask for quotes.

They may give you one, but also warn that getting the old bearings out may present a problem so may cost extra. They won't know till they've tried. Beware of this scam!

depends on the car. If it's that old you might consider finding a friendly mechanic and having a go yourself, I did the bearing on a Nova with my dad's help. However the bearing for my Cougar will cost around £100 and needs hyddraulic pressure (so can't be done outside a garage).

Rear of Front Wheel Bearing? I know from experience on a Maestro that rears take about 10-20mins. Fronts normally need to be pressed out, so takes infinitely longer. Not sure if this is the same on all cars?

i have a renault laguna and had the front wheel bearings done i got the bearings from gsf car spares they deal in german french & swedish cars tel no 01142617888 they are near don valley arena on opposite side of the road be sure to do both sides if you are keeping the car cos the other 1 will need doing i think i paid about £20 each and about £50 at my local garage to have them fitted its a big job the bearings have to be pressed in to the wheel hub dont go to main dealer cos they will charge you a fortune hope this helps steve...:thumbsup:
