    wheel bearing

    I don't have a garage or an impact wrench and worried about any rusted bolts. I did some investigating and found a local mom and pop suspension shop that comes highly recommended that would do it for $75+parts. I don't think I can beat that.

    wheel bearing

    My driver's side wheel bearing is going bad. I was quoted $250 to fix it. Is this a decent price? Should I go OEM or aftermarket? Do I need to replace both sides like you do with CV joints?

    Continental ExtremeContact DWS 195/50ZR16's

    I have these on some MSP wheels and they ride nicer than the Bridgestone Potenza Grid I had on before. The side walls are softer therefore better ride but lean a lot in turns. They are also better in the rain and much quieter.

    I went to go to class this morning and my car did not want to start. I get 1 click(sounds like a click from a relay) from the passenger side and thats it.
