Steering knuckle
I need to change my hub and bearing assembly. Once i take the old hub/bearing out , what do you guys recommend to use to clean out the inside of the steering knuckle, where the new bearing will sit. I was told if you dont clean it out properly with the oxidation and all, it wont have a good ground and will burn out the new bearings quicker.

Emery cloth works good for that. Use that and some WD-40.

Steering Knuckle
A forging that usually includes the spindle and steering arm, and allows the front wheel to pivot.

By the way, if my right bearing is bad, would it not make sense that when turning the vehicle to the Left, you would get all the noise? because i am getting noise when i turn to the right? And it is the right bearing thats bad, 99.99% I jacked the car up , spun the wheels left tire is quiet, right has vibration and noise, plus an ABS scan showed up right side bad. |

So why do you think the noise is present when i turn to the right then? If i turn the the right, the left tire should be taking the load. the mechanic that scanned the code for me said something about a weight transfer mechanism that distributes the weight when turning??
I have no idea! |
I don't know about any weight transfer mechanism, doesn't mean it doesn't have one though. It could be a upper strut mount. I know mine make a **** load of noise right now.
|
Would the upper strut mount make a loud noise similar to a bad bearing?
If so, how do you repair the strut mount? and is it fairly simple? |
