How much does it cost to replace the wheel bearing in the left front/driver's side wheel? I found the wheel bearing to be fairly cheap, only $70.00 but I'm not sure of the labor cost. Anyone know?
I had an accident
LAST OCTOBER and they fixed my car though my insurance's shop that was NOT a Porsche specialist. I told them as soon as I brought it in to pease check the wheel bearing becasue that's where most of the impact was. The left front bumper and wheel/tire hit a gaurd rail doing about 30mph. They said they would only change it, if it was needed. I said, how can you even tell unless you open up the hub to see if there is any damage? They basically ignored me, and saId they would be able to tell. Car rides fine up to 65-75mph and then after I go faster than that I hear a repeated humming noise. I definately think it's a wheel bearing because I know they did NOT replace it. My problem now is going back to them and getting them to fix the problem and having to get my insurance adjuster ride along with me over the speed limit posted. I'm not sure what they will say about me speeding in order to get them to hear the noise. I know when they tested it, they did not go above the speed limit of 65. Any sugestions. Here are some pictures of my car after the wreck. They had to replace my left front radiator, and the upper and lower control arms, and of course the rim, because the lip was ruined.
