[QUOTE="96dreamer, post: 16932567, member: 52560"] Drove the car to work last week, one of the hottest days of the year. Was happy to find out the AC was still ice cold. Not sure the last time I used it so it was a welcome surprise. Unfortunately on the way home a noise developed in the front end. Diagnosed it as a bad front driver wheel bearing. To the best of my knowledge they are original with 180k miles on them so it's not to surprising. If anyone happened to see my other thread on hubs you know finding a quality new bearing is getting harder. I ordered 4 different timken wheel hubs none of which had koyo markings anywhere. Hub face with no bearing markings and the one marking on any of them, a small laser marked number on the outer edge.
