yeah the ones i got are timkens from autozone... they're 99.99 now, at least at my store.

Cliff8928 · 04-17-2009, 01:32 PM

minus your 20% discount...

99alerogirl · 04-17-2009, 11:19 PM

haha yeah, mine... UPDATE!

so, after i got off work tonight i jacked er up (in the autozone parking lot mind you), took the hub off, returned it to get a new one. put it on, still had the anti lock and trac off lights. went on a drive to see if the whooshing noise was there anymore... and it's not! so the lights are still on, but the bearings sound good again, so i feel a little better. so i'm thinking a sensor is fried? or is there a fuse that may be blown for the ABS?

I thought that the sensor was in the hub which meant that if you replaced the hub with another good one then the sensor is new. It sounds like there is a problem between the connection on the hub to the EBCM. Maybe?

i think she meant the wires are fried.

Nate's Alero · 04-18-2009, 08:35 AM

start peeling back the wiring thing, the connector that connects to the ABS sensor in the hub, and then tell me if there are any breaks in the wiring, if there are, fix them. simple

99alerogirl · 04-18-2009, 09:31 AM

k... and i was thinking of taking one of those voltage meter things to the wires... i have NO idea if that would work in seeing if there's a current going through, it was just a thought i randomly had last night.. and my parents have one at their house.

grr autozone sells an abs scantool.... for 200 bucks.... that i would only use once. i wish i could just get it and return it. gay.

OH and after i got the hub on last night, light was on... parked it, went into autozone for about 10 minutes to talk to people, then got in my car, started it, and the lights were off... i was really happy.. then as soon as i put it in reverse, they came back on

talk about a freakin roller coaster.

Wooshing sound was probably the lip seal in the bearing, to keep dust/dirt out and grease in.

173 Ft Lbs is a shit ton of torque. Most torque wrenches only go upto like 150. Since I didnt have a wrench to go big enough, I just stood with 'most' of my weight at the end of the 1/2".

Sounds like you have a wire broke on the factory side or a bad connection in the plug.

99alerogirl · 04-18-2009, 02:19 PM

is there an abs fuse by any chance? may be a stupid question, but i'm gonna go ahead and take the possible fail point.

CactusWill · 04-18-2009, 02:22 PM

Yes, a maxi fuse too, I think.

There is a 40amp ABS fuse that goes tothe Electronic Brake Control Relay
Then there is a 10amp ABS Batt fuse that runs to the EBCM...both of these are under the hood..you may find that they are still good being that you are getting the lights...may want to check that relay as well.

I haven't had any issues with my suspension or anything for now. I'm hoping I don't have it any time soon either.... How much have you spent so far on replacing all this? I'm interested because my car hasn't had any issues with it yet and I want to be prepared financially for when it does happen.... otherwise, I'll be without a car. lol

99alerogirl · 04-18-2009, 02:43 PM

hmm, well the hubs were 100 a piece, cv axle was 70, and tie rod end was 34... all labor was done myself.

jayson_waltz · 04-18-2009, 03:03 PM

ITS A BROKEN WIRE, not on the hub its in the harness. I'll bet you $100 bucks and a candy bar. Scan tool wouldn't help you anyways.

Ryan from Ohio · 04-18-2009, 03:40 PM

Im with him ^

99alerogirl · 04-18-2009, 06:20 PM

yeah, I figured it has to be in the wire at this point. but the wires are intact, just gotta figure out which ones faulty.

If you have a Digital Multimeter and access to both ends of the harness you can do a continuity test. That will tell you if you have an open in one of the wires.

99alerogirl · 04-18-2009, 09:30 PM

yeah that's exactly what I was wanting to do
