    Front Right wheel bearing spoiled !! Don't know what is the cause . Heard sound came from front tyre when I'm driving yesterday, thought something was wrong with the tyre went to tyre shop to check . Guy said ntg wrong with the tyre , maybe it's just stone stuck on the tyre. After driving whole night, I stilll hear sounds from front wheels . Brought the car in to a local workshop this morning they said front right wheel bearing spoiled . Not sure what is the cause . Anyone experienced this b4???? Please reply asap . TQ

    No problems with mine, but I would definitely be going to the dealer and not a random tire shop.
    I'm sure a bad front bearing is a possibility, but this would have been noticed during the factory test drive. A bad bearing would be covered on warranty, but probably not if the car has been worked on by a non-factory authorized outfit.

    the clip you sent is for rear bearing not for the front.
    Thanks

    I didn't send a video clip. The important part was the discussion of the 458 bearings in that thread. There is a rear bearing 430 clip in that video, but that doesn't apply to the 458 as the discussion in there says how the 458 design makes the bearings and hub one unit that you don't separately service. Based on the discussion in there you'll have to replace the hub assembly that includes the bearings rather than bearings alone.

    edit: maybe @LivingthedreamBAB can chime in to give an update what they ended up doing as they started that 458 bearing thread.
