My Bearings are Unbearable
So of course, why wouldn't something else go wrong? A rubbing sound from the front of my car has started occurring. It get's louder the faster I go. It also gets louder when I am turning/veering right and quiter when turning left. My first guess is bearings but also it could be something wierd with a brake caliper.
The way that I understand it is that bearings for cars nowadsays are more complex than they used to be. You can not "re-pack" them as they now come in a sealed enclosure. Also ABS can only add to their complexities.
I had my car takin into NorthTown Volkswagen today. I had it towed in, and the good news is that when I called, they actually knew where it was. Unfortunately, half a day isn't enough time to look at this poor little car.
