Wheel Bearing Problems on my 86 Volvo 200

posted by  someone claiming to be miracleman49 on  Wed Jan 22 00:48 CST 2003 [RELATED]

$200!!!

NO WAY!!

You can purchase the best bearings available for about $60, new seals for about $8, a tub of grease for about $5 and with a jack and a handful of common tools, you can install new bearings and bearing seats for less than $65 and two hours of your time.

A professional mechanic gets the bearings and seals at discount for $40, has plenty of grease and tools on hand plus a hydraulic lift..and has learned to do this job in less than 2 hours.

Even at $50 per hour for labor and 25% mark up on parts, the total should $140 TOPS!!!

my .02....Get another mechanic.
