2000 Neon, front wheel bearing replacement?
Hi,
I'm 99% sure I need to replace my front passenger side wheel bearings. I get a nasty grinding/vibrating when turning to the right. We took off the rotor/brake, but we are not sure about the hub assembly. On this car, do I use one of those bearing puller tools? OR is this one of those cars where you need to replace the entire hub (which has the new bearings inside), because you can't get the bearing out.. I'm not too car savvy, and my girlfriends father is trying to fix my car. And he doesn't speak english. In any case, can someone tell me what i need to do, what tools I may need, and so forth? Also where can I buy the parts I need to get it all fixed up....Thanks for the help..

I have same problem with my neon.Problem is rubber part called (silent block) in lower control arm.You better go to mechanic,because that part need to be replaced with compress.Always change in pairs.I pay 50 eur for one,(i live in europe),but i think that it is much cheaper in US.
