    Front grinding.... Bearings?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So lately I'm feeling some "grinding" or rough riding when coasting or coming to a brake or turn at lower speeds. I know it's not a brake issue, and feels like wheel bearing wearing out. It's just not a super smooth ride. Anyone had this issue, and what was the findings?

    I feel the same thing on my pop's A6 when he goes into deep turns on the highway or something... his is a '01, so figured it was his bearings.

    If bearings, what are good aftermarket options? - if better/less pricey then dealer fix.

    if its a wheel bearing you should not be driving it, that will be a catastrophic accident waiting to happen. get it looked at asap.

    First I thought that I had a flat because the car felt funny, pulled over and looked around, no flat. Got back in got about 3 feet locked up, The front wheels had a lot of camber. Glad it happened when it did, I was doing 100+ couple min earlier
