Baghdadnights 150 Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 If its wheel bearing your talking about replace then there part of the disc so to speak not the swivel that's the cv joint. Should only be about £ to£100 to replace the wheel bearings just make sure they grease the new ones properly and don't over tighten them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
