rear wheel bearing - 2000 sonata
I just got back from my dealer and found the right rear wheel bearing is
going. I heard the noise which was why I brought it in. Now its a 2000 and has only 59000 km on it. Isn't it abnormal for a wheel bearing to go that early? I've only had the car for 3 weeks by the way and I'm hoping the dealer is going to cover it. He'll call me tomorrow morning. |

Abnormal for most cars, yes. Abnormal for a 2000 Sonata, no. In their
misguided wisdom, Hyundai did not put a dust cover on the part of the wheel hub assembly that faces toward the inside. This area is exposed to road dirt and splash, etc. The new part now has a dust cover, so I wouldn't expect the failure to be so frequent on the replacement. |

Thanks Hyundaitech. Nice they have the cover on the new part but I have 3
more to worry about. What are the chances I have to worry about the others going in the near future? hyundaitech <notpublic@not.public.com> wrote in message news:dc5ef6c05d172e1880cb9dbfe583615d@localhost.ta lkaboutautos.com... > Abnormal for most cars, yes.

The other rear one (if it hasn't been replaced already) is reasonably
likely to fail also. The front hubs are a different design entirely, so you shouldn't expect the problem with them. |
