VUE Wheel Bearings
My 2003 had a rear one replaced, looks like I am hearing the same
vibration again but at the front. I think I am just over 20,000 miles. What are you noticing that makes you think the bearings need replacing?

We replaced the wheel bearing in the right front at 15k miles. If they are
using the same supplier they did on they 1999-2001 Jimmy/Blazer it would explain the problem. I know of 5 owners of Jimmy/Blazers who had to replace bearings some within warranty some just beyond. I complained to GM on mine that were just out of warranty and they gave me $1k toward another GM vehicle which we used to get our Vue with. Other than that our Vue has been great. |

If it costs thousands of dollars for this work, I suspect there is
more involved than just wheel bearings, like maybe the axle or the whole wheel needed replacing.
