@evilmatchbox That's great. The shocks lasted the 40k miles until the headgasket blew because my friend overheated it, so I'd say they served their purpose well.

I wish it where that easy! That's not a wheel bearing!! That's a hub assembly... The bearing lives inside!

I need some help with this issue i am having with my 99 jeep laredo i put the jeep in full time 4 wheel drive everything was wonderful. I was driving and i heard a pop like a humming noise i pulled over to see what it was i get back in and start to drive and i hear a grinding noise coming from under nieth the jeep the left front axle area.It starts up just fine it shifts just fine.the left front area is making a grind noise like metal on metal like somthing came loose or popped.

Ya Gabriels are kinda crappy but they were probably OEM on that Jeep any way :) Most of the time 50K is enough on any factory shock. They have to make them affordable some how. MoPar wised up after a while, and moved on to better stuff... not too much but better. All my neons came with Gabriels, time kill most before miles. The gas leaks. KYBs... much better, but not much more than 50K on the front ones. But I'm picky.

Just did exactly that yesterday! That's pretty much the norm here, unless you've somehow managed to damage the hub.

@buttmanroad a bad wheel bearing sounds like your dragging your nuts on the sidewalk.
-
@yottabit And the grease gets lost eventually and the bearing wears. Same with ball joints, CV joints, tie rod ends and sway bar links. No way to lube and they lose the lube sooner or later.

Anythings possible, after changing the hub in my vid, no more noise. So in my case i know it was a hub... Ide suggest taking the hub loose and try the process of elimination...

@machster69 Could it be the Ujoint on the driveshaft making that noise for a rear wheel drive car?

The Old one sounds like the Marbles in my Head. Did you get Tire Wobble driving with the Old Bearing?

@buttmanroad Yes, pretty serious wobble. I imagine the old bearings were not very far from completely disintegrating.

16 dollar shocks?! they make them for a Dodge Dakota too?! :D are they any good for that price?

@godgirlsguitars they are Gabriel brand from auto-zone... they were a marked improvement from the completely shot struts that were on it, and they have a lifetime warranty, so as long as you are willing to take advantage of that I think they worked great!
Economy of scale is an amazing thing, and it's why really popular cars can have really cheap parts. On my Saturn S-series I rarely have to spend more than $30-$50 for a part.

@yottabit I drive a cavalier, and considering many of the parts didn't change for many years of it's production (even the cobalt shares a lot of parts afaik) the practically give the parts away. On top of that, I can find most non-engine/transmission parts at the junkyard, since many people don't take care of their cavaliers and the engine or transmission fails while the car still has plenty of usable parts.

@eliw4232 Yay for economy of scale! I drive a Saturn SC2 (visible in the back of the video) and it's much the same way... $30 radiators, $10 O2 sensors, etc... it's wonderful for someone who does their own work :)
