Jazz Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement Options

[rsgooch]

I just replaced my wheel bearings. It was a piece of cake, thanks to all the information in this post. Thanks!

Had rear wheel bearings replaced on our 2005 Jazz under warranty from Honda at 60,000 km, now at 82,000 km they are replacing them again as still noisy !!!!( bearing cost from Honda $178 ) Honda Australia admit there is a fault with them. Worse still is that the front LH wheel bearing is now noisy and isn't covered by "extended" warranty and will cost $ 312 to replace.
80 K service has now cost $ 1492, not that happy !!!!!!!! I've had lots of cars and "never" had to do bearings at such low KM.
Think twice re buying another Honda !!!!!

See, this is what I dont get. My 06 VTI has 70,000k's and the wheel bearings are fine ( run 15 inch mags with 195 tyres from new as well, which should be harder on the bearings ). Why the inconsistencies ?

p.s. all I've done on my Jazz is regular oil changes, an air filter, one set of front brake pads, and that's it. Cheap motoring for sure.



PS BEARINGS ARE WHIRRING AT 87 K km's ( right rear )

Is that bearing and hub ? Or just bearing only ?
The price I quoted you was for Wheel bearing and hub and they are Genuine OEM Honda item.

[GU357]

honda usually cover it under warranty anyway.

[fundies]

Hub and bearing JDMyard. What good are genuine Honda OEM, which is what our cars come with, which obviously have a major fault. And as for reviving this thread, as long as people have Jazz's with these dodgy wheel bearings, it will keep being revived on and on and on.......................

To those who don't have this magic, "extended warranty", do yourself a favour, and buy the Repco substitute for $70.

not sure how this applies, but be sure you specify ABS if required. i had a front bearing replaced in my 05, and was under the impression that ABS Was standard fitment in all Jazz models in Aust. BUT bursons stock and sell ABS and non-ABS bearings, and didn't say eitherway. picked up and install non-ABS bearing, had to do it twice, and @ the end of the day, they ended up replacing the wrong bearing.

good times.
