Yes, I have a few questions about this whole wheel bearing thing, besides the fact that it's a bitch to do.
First thing: Those that have replaced and had problems with their wheel bearings, did you notice a decrease in gas milage AND decrease in power ?
Second, did you feel vibration while braking, and was vibration from the wheel bearings intermitten (as in, not all the time while driving, but it would shake more at certain times) ?
These questions are obviously stemmed from a concern of mine. I have done a thorough brake job, so no 'you have a brake problem' crap. I noticed the braking issue is a slightly similar vibration to the, what I think, is the wheel bearings. I've replaced Upper ball joints on both sides, CV joints on both sides, and as I said before brakes ALL the way around (yes i did have a cracked rotor, but i think that was an isolated thing on that wheel).
I'm stumped. I THINK it's the wheel bearings, since i get this fscking terrible vibration (in steering as well as felt throughout the car) that rears its head up intermittenly. I know it's not my driveshafts now, after all that work, and much time spent.
