2 Front Suspension Wheel Bearing problem of the 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche

Failure Date: 11/07/2004

I am hearing a roaring noise coming from my rear wheel, I took my z66 into the shop and he said the wheel bearings need to be replaced. The truck only has 50000 miles on it. The bearings should not need to be replaced that soon.

3 Front Suspension Wheel Bearing problem of the 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche

Failure Date: 06/13/2004

The left front wheel bearing on my 2002 chevy Avalanche exploded causing the wheel to fall off the truck. This happened while going on the expressway in houstion texas. There was no warning. I was able to get off the expressway and out of traffic. Once I was stopped, all of the bearings and parts of the assembly fell out on the ground. All that was keeping the wheel on was the brake disk. The truck had only 63,000 miles on it at the time and had never been driven in any abusive conditions. A new wheel bearing assembly and hub was installed by a firestone tire and brake shop located on the katy expressway. I have the old parts from the repair job and allowed my chevy dealer to look at them. The rep said there is nothing for them to do since I am 28. 000 miles over the warrenty.
