Front wheels squeaking...
Front wheels squeaking...
Alright, at low speeds (I'm sure at high also I just can't hear them) my wheels sqeak while moving. I would assume that my wheel bearings are shot. Are they easy to replace? And where can I get new wheel bearings and for how much? Thanks in advance.

I went to mazdatrix's website and found the inner, outer, and seal for the front. Next I checked out autozones website and all they had was a single bearing and a seal. Why don't they have two bearings available, anyone have any experience? Thanks ahead.

Actually it is a start, stop, start, stop squeal. So dust brakes and a warped rotor could be part of the problem. But if I remember right when I had the wheel off last, I could ever so slightly jiggle the wheel back and forth by pushing and pulling on each side, which I've heard means the wheel bearings are bad or at least need to be tightened (from how to on www.fc3s.org). Maybe I'll start there. Does anybody else have any info on why the parts store only sells one bearing for the rx7 and mazdatrix lists a inner and outer? I looked at the parts store bearing and it looks physically a lot bigger than the bearings that are shown on the mazdatrix website. Thanks in advance.
