wheel bearings

[rsweeney]

hey guys , renaults up and running insured it for a year today! only thing thats annoying me is when i drive there is a noise from the back of the car, the faster you drive the faster the sound gets. does this mean the wheel bearings need replacing, if not what else could it be ?

[fordy]

new rear bearings needed fella

if your pads and discs need changing best do them together with the bearings as the new wheel bearings need to be pressed into the discs

[rsweeney]

ok but the rears are drums not disks so is it harder to do ?

will it need both sides doing and where can i go to get the bearings

[fordy]

drums? strange my 5 has discs

for the price of new bearings you might aswell do both of them

gsf is good for parts

will see what gsf want for rear bearings- will i need too use new circlips atall?

Rear bearings should be easy enough to source from any motor factor place, they may even be same as clio as they use drums also.

ok, will the bearings etc be the same as for the R5 turbo ?

Not too sure mate, i recon gt turbo discs will have different design bearing compared to the campus drum but its worth checking
