Wheel bearings
Has anyone noticed wearing out wheel bearing after track use? I'm getting a whurring noise above 40 mph after track days from the rear and not sure if its the M-sport diff or a wheel bearing but it's getting super annoying as I daily the car. I saw a recent video of a M4 needing wheel bearing after a hard run at the Nurbrugring and thought this might be the issue. Appreciate any guidance. https://youtu.be/SxK0N_Vn_Gk

the rear axle nut backed out on my car so it destroyed the bearing so I had to install a new one. |

How did you know it was the bearing (what were the symptoms)? Did you replace it yourself?

I did replace it myself. it does require a couple of special tools but they are not too expensive. I used the otc hub grappler (just the grappler itself, not the one with all the bushing cups) and bought a separate bushing install kit...doing it that way was SO MUCH ChEAPER than buying the full hub grappler kit. |

link to the tools i used: hub grappler: https://www.jbtools.com/otc-6575-1-hub-grappler-puller/ bearing/bushing install kit: https://www.amazon.com/OrionMotorTec...s%2C186&sr=8-5 for the bearing install kit, they have a diagram showing the different cup sizes. Make sure the kit has the size you need. Going from memory, im almost certain this is the kit i have...very handy if you do this kind of work. |
