ok well...so you put off the job. At least you have parts for the carrier bearing. I drove 460 miles this weekend with a screaming pulley bearing...its chattering like crazy. I was terrified it would seize and shred the belt. I think its the alternator bearings.

Its self healing. You didn't know? See page 43 of the user manual.

Sharing is caring.

NO rust on a NY car...congratulations, Brohemus.

Spray those heat shield bolts down with Liquid Wrench and then pray..

Good idea. I think I rough sanded both the outside of the bearing and the shaft to get a good bite. But hey yours might not even be loose. yes G560-25-744 worked for my gen 1

You are seasoned, Broheem. Good idea Canook. I think I rough sanded both the outside of the bearing and the shaft to get a good bite. But hey yours might not even be loose.

you gonna change the axle seal? Or have one on hand just in case?

Exactly, until they rip...then your girl is like, "dont touch me with those hands." Yes the bearing glue seems to have held. I cant know for sure without taking it apart but I don't have the sloppy bearing noise. If it was spinning again Im sure it be making crazy noises. Its legit stuff...

Boots are kinda fun, but so messy....use gloves, Bruh. When I dont, I regret it. Sometimes generic kits dont work out. I know I posted on boot kits for the speed3 at some point. I just got burned on a generic kit for a Grman car...Holy waste of time. Outer boot was just slightly too big in...

Id get an OEM bearing. Youre troubleshooting and dont want to add adversity. I dont know if they use the same CV joints...the non turbos produce much less torque so maybe they are smaller?

So whats your first step? Support bearing?

Yuppers I saw the vids. Your car has less than 1/2 the miles mine has. (If not for COVID Id be at 300k by now and she would be in a junkyard. But i digress...) The tripod (inner) moves in and out by design. The Rzeppa/ball joint really should not move much laterally. Compared to the video I...

my cars's support bearing was spinning in the carrier so the new OEM bearing just plopped in with no force. I used some bearing glue to make up the difference.

I dont think a broken or loose front McPherson strut would cause noise like that when turning. A bad strut bearing woudnt make that noise either. I have another car wth an undiagnosable creak in the suspension...Im at my wits end with it.

Some things are so hard to diagnose. I use Chassis Ears sometimes which are super time consuming to set up, damage prone, and even then they dont offer you good answers. Sometimes you need to throw parts at stuff.... 77k failing OEM CV? Doubt it. Likely something is loose...you're gonna have to...

nope that's not similar to the bearing noise I heard. Your noise RPM dependent? CV joint? Does it change if you're turning the steering wheel?

Maybe a bearing in the trans where the axle goes in?

The many Youtubers say that 2000-2010 is peak car for feel and reliability. My speed3 is still engaging after all these years. Not the most refined but for what I paid used with 5k miles and 177k miles later i cant complain. It might become a classic. Maybe. We have very different symptoms...
