So - my g'damn front driver's side wheel bearing is shot with less than 20K miles on the car. :kaboom: :nonono:
After some reading, I understand this is a common failure for these cars, although I can't imagine why. :read: Bearing technology and design tools are far enough along, nowdays, that such low life failures shouldn't occur.
In any event, here I am - stuck in this situation. Having said that, does anybody have a recommended parts list for doing a bearing swap, aside from the bearings themselves? Dust caps, nuts, etc... Should I go with OEM replacements, or not?
