Hey,
Ive got a 91 Tercel with 100,000 miles. I just replaced the axleshafts on both sides and ball joints, but recently Ive been hearing a knocking, grinding noise when driving (I can slightly notice it in the steering). It sounded like it was coming from the passenger side, so today I jacked it up and took the tire and rotor off, and I started the car and let it run. Only the passenger side axleshaft turned, and it was quite noisey. Although I havent noticed any excess heat I beleive the wheel bearing is bad. Is this what you guys think? If so, has anyone replaced the whole hub assembly with a new one? Or do you guys just have the bearings pressed out?
