So, I'm 99% sure a wheel bearing on my SL1 is bad, and 98% sure it's the left front. It's making that annoying whining sound, gas mileage dropped off sharply and suddenly, and handling is a hair off.
I'm gonna have my mechanic check it first thing Monday morning, but I am pretty sure it needs a new wheel bearing. If so, what is the best brand to get? Maybe this?: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/g...+wheel+bearing
I lean toward having my mechanic replace the thing. I could 'probably' do it without hosing the suspension---but I need this car to get to work and back, so my risk tolerance is low. How long a job is it? I trust the guy I would take it to, but it's good to have background info.
TIA....
