Can you get a dry bearing problem??

[astraman]

On my astra i keep having to (once a month)spray wd40 into my bearing behind my drivers side front wheel.When i rock the wheel there is no movement to suggest the bearing being damaged.After spraying the lubricant on any squeaking diappears.Any ideas?

[Toureman]

If you are spraying WD40 into your front wheel bearing it will soon break up.

Are you spraying the rubber boot covering your constant velocity joint? perhaps because that is squeaking?

[Toureman]

puzzeling is'nt it thebhoy!

[astraman]

Once the motors heat up and being diven for a while i start hearing a squeak at front wheel.When i jack the car up and spray the lubricant into what looks a metal circular object where the gator ends and joins the wheel it stops squeaking after a few turns and sprays of wd40 .

[Toureman]

It is probably the "metal circular object" that is loose causing the "gator" to rub against the "wheel" and cause the squeaking, this is cured for a short while until the WD40 dries up. Get a new tight clip fitted properly.

[thebhoy]

snip the old cv boot securing clip off and clean the cv boot and cv joint and put a cable tie on make sure the boot doesnt fall off the joint by turning the wheel lock to lock b4 u lower the car

[Toureman]

If you clean the CV joint as advised refill it with the correct amount and type of grease!
