I've been wondering what this sqweeking noise was coming from the front of my e30 at low speeds. At first i thought may have been my breaks but then it did it when i was even applying the brakes.My brakes and rotors have also been replaced. I'm not an expert mechanic but i did my best on trying to figure out what it was. I took both front tires off and spun the rotor and check the brakes for clearance both checked out fine. Just to be sure my eyes weren't deceiving me I took the brakes and rotors off too. I spun the hub and heard that sqweeking noise. Not only that but the hub would spin freely for half a spin and the put a little resistance. My guess is that i need new front bearings. Also at speeds over 65 i get a little bit of a vibration that grows as the speeds go up. I have replaced the rear bearings about less than a month ago, witch was the biggest pain cause i had to go get them pressed to the hub costing me $115. Tell me what you think cause i don't have a lot of experience and always up for learning. Thanks guyz.

Sounds like front bearings my little friend. They are very easy to change. Just be sure to have an impact wrench handy to break the nut loose. Good luck!

Thank you Steve, Ill get right on that. O ya do the front bolts have a circlip because I couldn't figure out a way to get the back ones out without tearing them up bad enough. So i had to go to the dealership and get new ones. If there are, is there a special way to take them out? I appreciate the help :bow:Comment
