Hi

I need to replace my rear left wheel bearing as it is quite noisy and makes a noise when turning either left or right (can't remember) - I think when i turn left it stops making a noise (load on the right bearing is fine).

Can anyone recommend someone to do the replacement? And maybe possible associated costs.

The car is a 1995 BMW E36 316i Automatic.

Preference for Cape Town CBD and surrounds, radius 25/30kms max.

thanks

Garage 808 or APS, better call sooner rather than later as they'll be pretty booked at the moment.

it has been confirmed as both wheel bearings. I won't be taking it far out, im just going as far as this place in salt river called Auto Works.

So in order to drive the quote a bit down, I decided to enquire at midas and they said R380 for both wheel bearings - but is there a specific make I should look for and also avoid?
