I have a 2015 mirage with 130,000 miles on it. a few weeks ago I started getting a howling noise coming from the rear axle that could be heard at about 50 mph or faster. I brought it into the shop and the mechanic recommended changing out my badly worn crappy tires. I changed out the tires and the mechanic mentioned that there was a little bit of play in both rear wheels and that the noise is very likely the bearings in each wheel.
the mechanics up here in the Bay Area want to charge an arm and a leg for a job like that so I am interested in getting the parts and having an amigo South of the border help me out with the job.
I am woefully ignorant about the parts necessary for changing out the bearings on both rear wheels on a Mitsubishi mirage, but from what I gather I will need the following parts:
2 real wheel bearings cassettes (mitsubishi part number (3885A039)
2 axle nuts (MB515403)
2 snap rings MU001558
I called my local auto parts store and they were unable to source any of these parts, so I went to Mitsubishi parts Warehouse and they didn't have the bearings but had the nuts and the snap rings, so i found these bearings on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/293370625667
. I also understand that you need a hydraulic press to remove the cassette bearings from the rear wheels. I would appreciate some input on what parts are necessary to get this job done
