I potentially have a rear wheel bearing issue - wheel squeaking when rotating slowly. Can't seem to find the kit/ part for sale anywhere, anyone any idea on cost of part and cost/ time to fit by an indie?

Thanks
 
I am fully prepared to be completely wrong... Edited, because I was :oops:
 
Wheel bearings when they are worn tend to make a whirring sound,it sounds more like a brake issue.
 
£36 from ebay.
or at least, they were 4 weeks ago when I bought one and it turned out to be a brake issue :headbang:

you'll want a 46mm socket with a thinish wall too I believe
 
Thanks guys!

Will definitely have the brakes checked - sounds like it is more likely this.

I have checked the pads on the outside and they have plenty of life left. I suppose it could be either inner pads or the discs.

If it is then is it worth upgrading to something (mtech drilled and grooved discs and either textar/ebc/ mintex pads) or shall i stick with standard parts? (yes i know this question comes up monthly lol)
 
I learned on here recently that inner pads wear faster than outer... Though I don't remember why. I had Textar ePads on my last Z, nice and grippy, lots less dust than OEM. Can't help with discs I'm afraid as I only ever replaced the fronts and just had OEM fitted I think.
