What happens when one goes out?

They usually don't dress appropriately for the occasion. Mostly due to too much *****.

Front or rear? Either way, they usually make a "wub, wub" sound especially when cornering. When really worn out, you can diagnose by shaking the wheels. Fronts can be adjusted, rears cannot.

Here's a link to more on diagnosis and replacement procedures: http://www.tech-session.com/kb/index...e=index_v1&c=4

Good Luck!

ok, yeah my fronts are going then........I won't be able to do it myself since I'm in college and have no tools since I'm no where near my house. I have a 1.5 hour drive (one-way) today and the same drive back on sunday....so is my wheel gonna fly off or lock up causing massive damage? Or will it just make slight noise and whatnot?

Depends how bad they are and how long you have been driving around with them. If they got all dried out from water getting in there, then yes, they can get hot and sieze.

You don't need many tools for this job. Once you get the wheel off there's a hubcap (screwdriver) and then you expose the nut/locknut holding the hub on (Allen wrench or large socket, depending on year). This will get you far enough to pack some grease in and tighten the bearings. To replace, you need to pull the hub off which requires removing the caliper. Any tire shop can do this for just a few bucks - watch out for the parts prices though - assuming they won't let you bring your own.

Good Luck!
