Hosaybo 6th Gear January 19, 2015 Share January 19, 2015 End 2015 is still a good 10 months at least. Should change. Imagine something turning at high speed but not smoothly. The issues will get worst. Can be dangerous as well if it give way and may cause u to loose control. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusnel 6th Gear February 3, 2015 Share February 3, 2015 (edited) Today, WS told me that my rear wheel bearing up lorry Liao. Both sides. What he did is jerk up car, he hold the spring and spin the wheel. Got vibration on the spring. And I can hear abit of sand or metal bits noise from the spinning wheel. Is this the proper way to diagnose? The symptom I having now is noise coming from the back when I drive. I always thought it's my tyres.....

CarLinkedin Neutral Newbie May 21, 2015 Share May 21, 2015 Whatever it is , just do not send to Wee Hoe Workshop.Current location. tel no 68580019. 19 kim chuan terrace. Do at your own risk.

Also repair/problems was not fixed and create some additional problems after two days. Messed up the car interior . Very bad experience with them. Totally unprofessional mechanics and owner. Careful ! so you don't experience this bad experience . For fast efficient service , can try Chip soon at Tampines or Riverview Auto at AMK. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mechanic didnt say its important Get the vehicle check to see if it is the wheel bearings that cause the sound. While it may not be a safety issue (not sure), there are instances that the bearing was jammed and caused damages to the wheel system like the drive shaft etc. Get it check first.

AgentG 3rd Gear October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 i am driving Altis, nearly 7 yrs old, mileage 148k. Was told need to change the following during servicing by BM: 1) Change Engine mount, $1.1k 2) Both front lower arm brush, $1.2k 3) Rocker Cover gaskets & chain tesioner oil leak, $250 4) Front wheel bearing, $450 Is the price on the high side? Any outside workshops to recommend? I think front wheel bearing need to change ASAP. What about engine mount, front lower arm brush and rocker cover gasket?

BM knife very sharp lol. I think if you go to stockists and get the parts and give to a workshop to do, it will be much much cheaper. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
