rear wheel bearing on e92

Raju88 · 07-10-2015, 06:19 PM

What's a ball park figure to replace a rear wheel bearing on a 330i e92? I previously had some clicking coming from the rear which disappeared and now I am getting a 'humming' or 'whining' when going 60+ which leads me to believe it could be a wheel bearing. It's going to the local indy on Monday, just wanted to know what I can expect in terms of cost if it does turn out to the wheel bearing?

Fronts are about £300 plus labour, and my guess is the rears will incur higher labour charges. The fronts are a bolt-on combined hub/bearing, so much easier to change...

£300 plus labour?? I checked the part on GSF and it was £80 for the premium part, sounds a bit steep for £300 plus labour for one wheel bearing!

Probably £300 from a main dealer.

Stick with a good brand like SKF and you'll be fine buying aftermarket.

Got my f.ag bearings from Germany for less than 100 a pair. I read they are the oem manufacture. Fronts are a DIY job in my opinion. Rears grand if you have a press or decent puller

Your looking at around £250 from an indie, around £70 for the rear bearing and 2.5 hours labour.

Fronts are probably more expensive because you have to replace the whole hub casting with a captive bearing, rather than just press in a new ball race...

Going in on Friday, told that the part is about £50 but is around 3/4 hours labour :|
