Spose to grab wheel at 12 and 6 to check for bearing wear.
Just change it out. I think the nut gets torqued to 240 ft-lbs. Make sure you check.

Roger it just got shipped from ecs so I don't kn how long it will take to get here. But im right in thinking that vibrations like that are usually wheel bearings? I just want to be 100% sure so I can enjoy nice ride to bfe.
Im also looking for tires that are used and cheap that I can get on those style 71 so I can have them on for bfe as well can't wait for next week :D

I would tend to say....vibrations are typically caused by bushings, either cabs or ball joints, as well as out of balance wheel. In my experience noise is the prevailing symptom. Kind of a whoooooshing sound.

It's a glorious day my fellow ZHP owners. For I have finally got around to fix my Front Wheel Bearings. Let me tell you I feel like i just got a new car. Reason why this took so long as from the post previous to this, is that i had to order my socket online. I could not find anywhere in store a socket large enough for the hub nut. Ill post some pics later of the hub that was damage so people can get an idea of how the vibrations are created from a bad wheal bearing.

Glad it fixed your problem. New bearings can make a car ride like new, first time I did my e30 front ones I was amazed at what it did for the car.Originally Posted by DirtyPillows

For anyone else, I have the bearing tools, for future repairs.

How difficult is this DIY? From what I have read it seems the hardest part is loosening the hub then pressing the bearings?

Not hard. One hour per side.
