Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Malibu / July 2004Wheel bearing noise
My Malibu has recently been making a growling noise from the front wheels that sounds like a wheel bearing noise. It growls when driving straight or turning left, but goes away with the slightest right turn. Has anybody else had this problem, and had it fixed? I'm wondering if this is a common problem and if it is expensive. Our Malibu is a 2001 LS with 38,000 miles. It has had the intake manifold leak fixed, the heater switch resistor replaced, the front brakes replaced and now the ABS light is coming on. $eem$ like an expen$ive to own. - Duane I just had the same problem, had the bearing changed for 50$ labour and about 130$ for the part. Now my other bearing just went on me, but i have 135000Km on my malibu. Thanks for the reply. Do you remember what they called the part or the part number? Thanks again, Duane > I just had the same problem, had the bearing changed for 50$ labour and > about 130$ for the part. > Now my other bearing just went on me, but i have 135000Km on my malibu.

I've recently learned that GM has had a lot of failures of these new (2001 and newer?) bearing assembly that incorporates the ABS. It appears that this is used on many GM vehicles and my 2001 has failed with just 39,000mi on it. Two major auto parts stores sell many of these for $120/. GM wants $550 to replace just 1 of these wheel bearing assemblies! Your loosing me GM! - Duane > I just had the same problem, had the bearing changed for 50$ labour and > about 130$ for the part. > Now my other bearing just went on me, but i have 135000Km on my malibu. |
