2001: “(1) started hearing noises from both front wheel hub assembly's (front wheel bearings) (2) took it to my local firestone service station where they identified the problem - they told me it would get worse if I kept driving it, but at the time I could not afford $312/per bearing plus labor = over $800 in repairs. I drove the car 2 more days and the wheel bearings locked up on me while driving - the car almost came to a sudden stop, veered off to the left of the road... (3) I found the parts cheaper on the internet ($233/per hub) and had a local mechanic install them and saved hundreds. …”
