My 89 505 V6 Automatic is showing two symptoms lately:
Thinking about wheel bearings in the front,does anybody have experience
changing them?Are there two or one per wheel? Any special tool to do the
job?
- Assuming that you have anti-lock brakes, this is a very serious job
and not for the faint-hearted. I have done this on my 87 STI V6.
And you do need special tools :
- socket to remove and install hub nut
- puller to remove rotor,hub,bearing assembly from axle shaft
- bearing splitter to remove the inner bearing race from the axle
- large shop press to remove and install the double ball bearing
(wheel bearing assembly) in and out of hub
- torque wrench to tighten axle nut to 102 ft. pounds
The inner race needs to be pressed on to the axle shaft. Did mine with
old axle nut andlarge socket.***

1- After I filled the tank at the gas station on Tuesday,there is a
strong gasoline smell in the car.It is so strong that I have to roll the
windows down and open the sun roof while driving in order to chase the
smell.I tried to localize the origin but so far no clue.It does not seem
that I have a leak as my gauge is showing a level that is okay
considering the distance I drove since I filled up the tank.
Does anybody have such experience with a 505? Any idea that can be shared?
2- The second symptom is a whining noise that seems coming from the
front since last week.It starts when the speedo reaches 20 mph and the
noise level goes higher as the speed increases.I tried to turn the
ignition off with the gear selector in neutral and the car coasting at
about 40 mph, but no change.
Any idea where I should focus my search?
Thank you in advance for your input on these problems.
Willy
