Greetings,
I have a 94 850. I just installed Bilstiens, IPD springs, roll and sway bars, axles and CV joints. I have a front end pulsing, as if the tire is off balance. Does anyone know what the wheel bearing feels like if they go bad?
By the way, upgrading the suspension is the best spent money I've put into the car!

Hhrrm, If I Recall Correctly, a bad wheel bearing usually gives a sort of whooshy grinding sort of sound. You may want to check clearance on all of the components, especially the new axle. One possible cause of the pulsing you speak of is a blown control arm bushing. On the '94, you can replace each bushing individually without having to replace the whole arm.

This describes well my experiences with failing bearing hubs.

My wheel bearing made a sound like driving oveer the grooved pavement they do on the should of the road, just not as harsh. It is a dull roar that varies with speed.
