Rear Wheel wiggle

[kdburtch]

I have a 02 EB v6. When changing the rear brakes I noticed that 1) after re assembly I can wiggle the driver side rear tire, and 2) I need two new springs. When I turn right I can hear the brakes scrape and when I drive straight or turn left there is nothing. I called the dealership and they stated it could be a bad hub, any ideas?

Could easily be bad rear wheel bearings, a common failing on these models and not to be trifled with. A complete failure can mean loss of control. Also, this is not the easiest job for the do-it-yourselfer. Check the top stickee thread in this forum on the procedure.

Have it checked out soon.

Most likely it is a bad hub.

It's rear bearing and hub assembly. If you don't have good mechanical abilities send it out. Need a large press to press the bud and bearing - both off and on. Careful on the boots on the upper control arms. As others mentioned check the stickies.
