I have a 07 GT, 113k miles.
I bought my 5 last year. Just in the last few days it's started to make a loud humming/vibrating noise from the passenger side front. Also has started to pull kinda hard to the right. The sound increases above 20mph, and stops if making slight right turns, and increases on slight left hand turns.
I have read a little about it, and have found a lot of posts about replacing the front wheel bearings. I also read about needing to replace the axle half shaft.
Here's my questions.
Am I on the right track, and what would be the first place to start?
Do you recommend replacing the axles or the bearings or?
Does anyone know what the shop time is for either one?
I've always done all my own work, but I am not able to anymore due to a back injury. My mechanic wants to know the best route to take to just fix the problem so we don't have to keep going back to the same issue, he hasn't worked on these before.
Anything else that we should change, replace or look for while it's on the rack?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
