Hello Members,
The mechanic diagosed that the Smart has failed bearings in the rear. He showed me how the wheels were noisy and had a play while on the hoist.
They quoted $700 with parts and labor.
Considering the cost involved and suggestions from a member in this forum, I have decided to undertake this project myself.
I am completely naive to repairing a car. But I believe you members will guide me through this.
Step 1 is to procure the wheel bearing hub assembly. Several eBay sellers have it for approx CAD 120 including shipping. The mechanic had the same part for CAD 230. Do you guys know any supplier in GTA who has better deals. Am trying to squeeze in as much as possible.
I will post the progress and seek more help along this project.
Cheers!
