Chevyball bearing replacement cost

After I drilled out the defective sensor , I took a reamer to the hole. The shop that removed the other sensor (left front) was nice enough to let me go home without a sensor (I got one from an online Toyota dealer at a big discount). And my labor is free.

They need to be tight due to the super tight tolerance on positioning for proper operation. I did some work recently and had to R&R an ABS sensor. Long story short, a thousandth made a huge difference in signal level. Too close and it rubs, too far and weak signal. Rust forming on the spacer was enough to cause weak signal…removing them required diligent care not to damage them…

Yeah, tight but not pressed in I had to pry mine out a fraction at a time, going around to keep it from getting jammed. Both GM and an 03 Toyota Camry. The GM had a penta-socket head fastener on one side and a pressed in “rivet” on the other. Still struggling to understand/justify the need for such hardware…

As always when in doubt you get a second opinion . It could be that this shop does not have the right equipment for the job or there is a lot of labor involved .

I took my knuckle to a shop and they pressed out my bearing and he said hub was scored but he had 1 used. For $20. I tried to pay with my card and tech said hub was his and cash only. Had to run to atm for $20 cash. Bet tech had a few hubs in his toolbox. From other jobs?

Did you get an itemized estimate? If not, ask for one. Do that when you get a second opinion too. That way you can easily compare the two. Don’t tell the second shop what the other one estimated.

Cool. With that said, you really should consider getting the other one replaced at the same time…see if the shop will give you a break on the labor.

I thought sometimes they just replace the whole hub part is a little more but less labor. That price sounds high you need to get a second quote.

Same with a guy I know in my area who passed away back in 2011. He BSed, cobbled together, hacked up, and in general screwed everyone over yet everyone within 25 miles of him praised his name to the mechanical heavens. Go figure…

Not necessarily. I had this setup on my old Mazda Protege. You press the hub out of the bearing, and the inner race of the bearing is stuck in the hub. You then carefully score the outside of the inner race, and strike it once or twice with a chisel…the inner race splits in too, and you’re left with the hub, which you can press into the new bearing.

You did the right thing by getting other quotes and as an aside, never give a lot of credence to online reviews. Some may be fake and in some cases people may have been robbed blind and simply do not realize it. Their car is fixed for double what anyone else charges so they’re happy with it all.

Certifications and quality requirements for spindle repair services can include ISO 9001, ISO 9002, and QS 9000. ISO 9001 establishes requirements for organizations whose business processes range from design and development to production, installation, and servicing. ISO 9002 establishes requirements for organizations whose business processes include production, installation, and service, but not design and development. QS 9000 is a quality standard for suppliers of Daimler Chrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company, and General Motors Corporation. QS 9000 is based on the 1994 edition of ISO 9001, but contains additional requirements of the automotive industry. Companies certified by original equipment manufacturers to repair spindles to specified conditions and tolerance are available.

Thanks all, appreciate the help. I did call a second and third shop and was quoted $350 by one and $380 from the other. Both shops gave me their estimate, and when they then asked what I was quoted when it was diagnosed they said the shop I went to was notorious for extremely high prices and that $750 was way too high… I’m surprised since the first shop had great reviews.

Scope of work as per the first shop was to “replace the left/front wheel bearing and press the new one”, that’s all they mentioned.

you can get the whole hub and bearing for like $150 , so your mechanic is telling you it is going to take him 5 hours to do the job on a bearing ?? I doubt it , i would run from that guy .

Selecting spindle repair services requires an understanding of spindle technologies. Bearings permit rotary motion, reducing wear and friction and facilitate high rotational speeds. Several types of bearings are available. Angular contact ball bearings, deep groove ball bearings and roller bearings are most common. Air bearings use a pressurized air supply. By contrast, hydrodynamic bearings use a film of oil while hydrostatic bearings employ a pressurized oil supply. Spindles with hydrodynamic or hydrostatic bearings feature a high stiffness and long life. Spindles with magnetic bearings are available. Cartridge spindles mount in a block housing. Block and flanged spindles are bolted to a flat surface. Spindle attachments with an angled head are configured to allow right angle or adjustable tool orientation and may include gearing to multiply the spindle speed.

Spindle repair services often perform additional services. Computer Aided Design (CAD) is used to design spindles. Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) is used to manufacture products directly from CAD outputs. Companies that provide design assistance can help with concepts, manufacturing costs, manufacturing techniques and material considerations such as sourcing. Some spindle repair services offer to rebuild machine tools or provide refurbished spindles. Others provide on-site support or rebuilt spindles with warranty.

We offer spindle repairing and spindle rebuilding services for lathes, mills, CNC machining centers, turning centers, grinders used in all industries around the globe. All assemblies are carefully disassembled, all parts are cleaned, inspected with electronic gaging, analyzed for failure and evaluated for restoration and quoted. After quotation approval, worn parts are replaced or reworked to OEM specifications and the re-assembly of the spindle with new bearings takes place in a clean room environment. We repair electrical portions of spindle, as well as the mechanical. Drawbar assemblies are checked and rebuilt as needed. The assembly is run-in, checked for vibration, temperature and runout. The assembly is shipped in protective packaging.

You should also verify how many wheel bearings they’re replacing. If it were me, I would go ahead and replace the bearing on the other side of the vehicle as well…chances are, it’s not far behind in terms of failure.

You didn’t mention the year of your Elantra, but when I plugged in a 2015 into repairpal.com for an estimate, my local zip code brought up an estimate for $173-266 to change a single wheel bearing…you definitely need to get a 2nd and 3rd quote

Elantra has same bearing setup as Honda’s. A shop can lowball the cost and then have to replace more parts or remove knuckle to press out bearing. The bearing is pressed into the hub. So, assume the hub will be damaged or scored.image600×600 22.3 KB

Spindle repair services specialize in the repairing and rebuilding of spindles which are (1) the rotating components of milling machines and grinders used to hold and drive a cutting tool and (2) the rotating components of lathes and workheads used to hold and turn a workpiece. Common services include disassembly, cleaning of all parts, inspection with electronic gaging, failure analysis, the evaluation, replacement, and rework of parts, clean room assembly, vibration analysis, dynamic balance testing. Typically, vibration analysis is performed by using accelerometers on key measurement points. Dynamic balancing restores spindle equilibrium about a central axis. Spindle repair services are located around the globe. Many meet International Standards Organization (ISO) requirements or specific automotive or OEM certifications.

I paid $250 parts and labor for the front wheel bearing of my previous Toyota Corolla. It had to be pressed in also. They put in a Timken bearing and it didn’t take much time…around 45 minutes and I was out of there.Shop around because your estimate seems on the high side.

Dropped my car off at a mechanic to check into an issue I’ve been having (groaning in the front/left wheel). Turns out it is a wheel bearing that needs to be replaced and the mechanic quoted me $750 for the job, saying “the bearing needs to be pressed and it’s a fair amount of labor”.

This doesn’t include the cost of replacing one perfectly good ABS sensor that had to be destroyed in the process. (tech told me that the sensor would be in the way of the press, and they couldn’t remove it without destroying it. ). I believed him, as I replaced the ABS sensor on the other side a year earlier. It was defective. I too had to destroy the old one to remove it, as Toyota machined the hole too small. Talk about a tight fit! There was TSB about this, I believe.
