pigfarmer Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 The misses has just bought a 98 xei and it dont sound good . The fella sold it cheap and told her a wheel bearing needs doing (among other things). Having driven it the rear certainly sounds like a trashed bearing and its vibrating a bit as well. One rear wheel has play in it so i'm fairly happy with the diagnosis. Now i've had a look through the forum and seen the kind of horrors it could also be i'm wondering if it was cheap enough !!!!!!
