Cavalier 2.2L Ecotec

  • Manual transmission
  • 1,000 miles

Typical modern manufacturing found on most cars today so a $10 bearing failure costs you $150 to fix. Oh well, progress. Rear wheel bearing grinding when I got the car at 120K miles and it ground away for over a year no big deal just noisy. Somehow they don't seize just get loud so its no need to run screaming to the dealer to get it fixed rather do it at your leisure. Get an aftermarket wheel hub for about 100 -120 bucks.

I don't consider this a screwup part but rather just wear and tear replacement subsequent to driving so its not a rant. Still a 120 buck hub where a $10 bearing and race would suffice torques me some.
