2004 Oldsmobile Alero review from North America
"Sick of replacing wheel bearings"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace the wheel bearings three times. I had the right front wheel bearing replaced on 2/14/06, the left front wheel bearing on 2/12/07 the right front wheel bearing on 3/14/07 and I have an appointment to replace the wheel bearing on 3/19/08. My mechanic is going to check and see which one if not both need to be replaced. No one can seem to figure out why the wheel bearings to not last.
Other than the above problem I love the car. No other problems.
