Omega General Help / Re: Front Wheel Bearing

« on: 09 November 2009, 07:28:24 »

Thanks guys for all the help and advice.

Apparently the Wheel Bearings assembly come as a complete sealed unit and this is what was replaced and charged for!

Will take on board ideas on the tightening of the hub nut to 320 nm first before the current FOS gets replaced.

The first couple of replacements were done by Vauxhall Main Dealer as car relatively new so would hope that correct parts and tightening was done properly.

Since then local small garage done work who suggested that it may be build up of static (apparently similar problems on Peugeots) They installed earthing cable in an attemp to discharge potential static on FNS.

Omega General Help / Front Wheel Bearing

« on: 08 November 2009, 20:04:11 »

Wondering if anyone can help as i've got what is becoming a very expensive and tiresome problem relating to worn Front Wheel Bearings on my Omega 2.2 CD Auto on a 03 plate.

Since May 2007, 54,000 miles, i've had to replace worn FOS Wheel Bearing 4 times & worn FNS Wheel Bearing twice, I know it's unheard of, or so everybody tells me.

FOS is now making the sound that it has gone again, 76,000 miles (By now I know what a worn wheel bearing sounds like).

The 1st one going, coincided with an electrical gremlin back in May 2007, but was not identified / rectified, but seemed to go away.

Any help and advice would be appreciated as the wallet can't take any more.

Thanks
