| Advanced Member     Group: Members Posts: 3,463 Joined: 23-July 11 From: Clayton, Georgia Member No.: 13,351 Region Association: South East States  | My right rear bearing is making noises.  I called my mechanic and he said to get parts and he would install it. I am looking at the exploded view of rear axle. (See below) When I order parts, do I just need the Bearing #28? Is there a race for the control arm because I don't see one? Does he need to remove CV axle and tap out the bearing from the inside? Thank you in advance for your help. Attached thumbnail(s)   |
