Just wondering if it is possible for me to do this myself. I am reading the description on RTM website and it says: The bearing must first be pressed into the knuckle, and then the hub pressed into the innner race of the bearing once it's in place in the knuckle. I am wondering if this is something I need a machine to press it in or if this is something that can be done by hand.

I use my press to do the front and rear wheel bearings on my 1g DSM's. Its very easy with a press. You could do them without one if you really had to, but I'd rather take them to a shop rather than try to pound and deform them. Gosh, my press was probably the best $100 I ever spent at princess auto I use it for everything.

Ok, good to know. Thanks guys, I have a rubbing noise coming from the front right tire that I can hear when I turn the wheel to the right a little when I am driving fast, can't hear it at low speeds.

So now I am thinking it's not that, I can hear the rubbing but I lifted the car and the wheel doesn;t move at all. Anything else that could make that rubbing noise? There is no brake dust shield there.

Brakes are good but they did seem a little weaker today than they usually are. I am pretty sure the pads are good though, but haven't looked recently. I have new rotors I am putting on so I was going to look then.
You know what (sorry just thought of this) when I push on the brakes it pushes back at me like little bumps. So I am guessing that maybe the rotors could be warped?

yep, that's what that bumpy bumpy feel is. make sure your calipers aren't seized. seized calipers overheat the pads which warps the rotors. Otherwise they could just be cheap rotors, they shouldn't warp under normal use.

Ok, the rears might be seized a bit, I am hoping it's the fronts though because the rear rotors are pretty new. What about leaving on the e brake for a few days could that warp it?

What are you using to lube them up, I should probably start doing that.

so I finally figured out what the cause of my noise was. Just found it today on my drive home, but am not sure what part it is that I need. Seems to be the bolt on the steering gear that mounts to the wheel. Any one know where I can get this bolt? So did some research and am thinking this is the part that I need, some confirmation would be great.

Found this hiding in the 2g section, is this what I need? should I replace both? Also is this any worse?

Tie rod end. Its a wear item. Best is to replace and take it for an alignment, or take the car in for an alignment and tell them to replace the tie rod end before they do it. More than likely any good shop should check for play (in the ball joints, inner/outer tie rods, wheel bearings, or control arm bushings) in both wheels before they do the alignment anyways.

These guys want 160 to install the tie rod ends and then 135 to do the alignment, this is at Brampton Chrystler. I will order them today and put them on myself, but do you guys have a good place for me to go near me (Brampton at Ching and Bovaird) to get the alignment done?
Also, should I get a pickle fork to do this?

I'm heading over to crappy tire and getting their "Nascar" ones. Canadian Tire reboxes Moog under their "Nascar" brand for suspension. Just the same as they rebox Raybestos brake pads under the "Nascar" name. So you're good As far as replacing them... when you thread the old outer tie rod off, count the number of rotations it took you to get it off. Thread the new ones on with the same number of rotations, and you probably won't even need an alignment. I threw mine on the rack afterwards just in case and everything was in the green for me.

The usual tools for taking off your wheel, I believe the tie rod nut is a 14mm but don't quote me (should either be 14mm or 17mm), 2 wrenchs for the adjusting lock nut (one can be adjustable if need be), penetrating oil, and a mini sledge (to free up the tie rod from the spindle).
Oh, and beer. Obviously.

Just watched a video and some dude used this thing called a grease gun, do I need to grab this, or should it be filled already?
