Update: Put the new Bearing in, this one took 40 mins as opposed to the hour 15 that the first one took. Was in worse condition than the left hand side. Thanks again to Keith for the advice. Now onto getting the ball joints replaced.

Thanks k31th, I'll get the right side bearing replaced and see what that does. Thanks for your time.

Gidday Phil. My '05 BA has been making a terrible noise for a week or two now and some trouble shooting and a warrant check by a mechanic led me to believe it was the front left wheel bearing. Thanks for the write up, photos and instructions. Got me through replacing my first wheel hub assembly nicely. Unfortunately the same exact noise is coming from the front left side of the car at both low and high speeds after replacing it. Could you offer any advice to a novice as to what the issue may be now that I've eliminated the wheel bearing? The mechanic said both my lower ball joints need replacing ( which I'm looking into ) but they wouldn't be responsible for the noise. Any advice or assistance would be a real help. Thanks again.
