    Default Where can I take the NA to get my rear wheel bearing done?

    I've had enough of my wheel bearing noise and want to just take it somewhere to get it replaced. I would take it to Stevan however he's booked solid and Track Dog Racing says that they would help but it could be difficult. I live in the Texas Motor Speedway area but I'm looking for a shop that won't charge and arm/leg and who I can trust. A quick turn around would also be great too.

    EDIT: I am also willing to pay a local member that has the resources and the experience to do the job.

    It may be a bit far, buy Jewel Auto is on the southside of Ft Worth. They have been taking care of my wife's cars for a long time. Mike Jewel, the owner is a really good guy. The staff are all decent, friendly folks, and at least one of them teaches at TCCC.

    I ordered low mileage hub/spindles from Parts Group and just swapped them out. Much easier that way. Only took about an hour to do both sides.

    Can you PM me with what parts I need and what you would charge in labor?

    I think I just need to order a new hub and wheel bearing right? Or do new hubs come with a bearing already?

    Bearing and a new nut would be one option or get a used rear hub is another you need to decide which way you want to go.

    Take a look at this post I did the bearing and replaced the nut - http://www.dfwmiata.com/showthread.p...t=Rear+Bearing

    Wished you had the parts already could have done it today or Sunday.

    Looks like Mick will be doing it for me. I ordered my parts and should be having him do it next week or as soon as I get the parts.
