Celica 2001 VVTi-190... Rear bearing fault, advice please...
Discussion
I'm new to the forum so I'd just like to say hello and thanks in advance for any advice.
I recently purchased a 2001 Celica VVTi-190 only to find that the rear drivers side wheel has a faulty bearing or hub.
I had it diagnosed at a garage and they seem to think I have to replace the whole hub at a cost of £170 as with this type of car it's not possible to replace the faulty bearing. I just wanted to know if this is the case and a rear wheel bearing cannot be replaced on a 2001 Celica.
If the only option is to replace the whole hub, does anybody know a parts supplier or breakers yard that might have a rear wheel hub for my car and if I managed to find one, could I, a novice with very little knowledge of cars, replace it myself?
Any advice would be much appreciated. Cheers, Matt.
