wheel bearing part 2

[Mephisto]

ok so ive gone to idiot zone, napa and pep boys and asked for a wheel bearing kit for the front right wheel... all 3 of them gave me the wrong part...

anyone have the exact part number? ive looked this up online and found 7466964, but cant find an illustration anywhere... i just want to make sure i got the right part number...
i need whatever is gonna fix this, and the part number for the rubber boot/clamp that goes over it...

I was just saying that when I looked at the picture. I would have given you the wrong part also.

I don't know about you, but I don't think I'd attempt to repair the existing CV joint. They're pretty sensitive pieces and you've got to have them be absolutely spotlessly clean in order for them to live.

I'd think seriously about purchasing a complete rebuilt shaft. Probably cheaper and easier in the long run. I'd even consider doing both sides, depending upon cost, condition, # miles, etc.

But thats just my $0.02

yea just buy a new one its probibly cheeper then fixing the stock one

went by the pep boys, and they have a reman' shaft for $100 with $110 core
then just for shits and giggles i went to the dealer...
$347 for the cv joint and the boot
$570 for a new shaft

i dunno what brand this pep boys shaft is, but would i really get anything better at napa or auto zone?

I don't think you'd do much better at Autozone. I'd think the Napa parts would be better. They'll probably be more expensive.

I checked NapaOnline. Didn't have any parts listings for Sy's, but did for Ty's (I don't understand that). Anyway, the Ty halfshafts were like $140 new. I'd check with your local Napa for price and availability. Personally, I'd feel a little better with Napa parts than Pep Boyz Specials, but don't feel like getting robbed at the stealership.
