If it actually turns out to be a failed bearing - forget the press as the bearing is available as a complete hub only. One part for ABS and another for non-ABS. They don't fail often so used is a good choice.

The older cone type bearings have not been used on the 700/900 cars since 1987. Tightening for the centre nut on 1988-95 sealed bearing is 75 ft/lbs PLUS 45°.

Dear skim35,

Good p.m. and may this find you well. How many miles/Km on your car? Typically, wheel bearings do not need attention until 150K/250K miles/Km.

If a bearing is failing, the noise it makes - a whine or a howl - will be continuous. It will be louder at higher speeds.

If the noise is present, ONLY when you're turning, perhaps a brake caliper is loose - and brought into contact with the rotor by centrifugal force.

If it is indeed the bearing - and others more knowledgeable will surely comment - I believe that on 940s, the hub comes with the bearing factory-installed (it was so on a nephew's 1990 760). While this makes for a more costly repair part, it simplifies the replacement.

Sit tight: help - in the form of someone, who's done this repair - is on the way!

Yours faithfully,
