Help please - bad bearing/CV?
Hello all,
I replaced my brakes on my 1991 DX this weekend. The rotor was seized on both sides so it required a good deal of whacking with a hammer to knock it off. I think this may have done some damage as now I have a grinding noise when I turn at low speeds (happens turning in both directions). This is only when going forward, NOT in reverse. I took it into a shop and they believe that I need new wheel bearings on both sides to the tune of $500, but are unsure if that is actually the problem. I had initally thought it was the CV axles, as I know they are problematic on Protege's, and I figured if it were the bearings it would make the noise going forward, as well as in reverse. Can someone please help? I certainly don't want to pay half the value of car car to only possibly fix the problem. Thanks guys.
