Replacing HUB bearings

98stangman · 09-12-2003, 02:21 PM

Has anyone done this to thier sn95 mustang? I hit a curb and my car passenger tire went way out of wack. Had to pay $300 yesterday to Northside ford to get a inner tie rod socket replaced,alignment, and rebalance a tire. The rim looks to be bent because it still shakes, but last night i went into an empty lot and did a slow circle. When circling right --all good no problems. Circle left and there is a LOUD popping and when it pops the car will actually rock to the right???? Any ideas. Is this a tie rod (sterring issue) or maybe a hub bearing. I really appreciate the help. I am in the dark and am thinkin i got taken for $300.

Sounds like something loose or possibly still bent.Bearing will make a growling noise when bad not a pop.Check out where the strut mounts to the spindle those bolts may be loose.
