07 DB9 front hub squealing

[randyb]

Anyone know what other cars use the DB9 hub?
Thinking Jag XK or XK8.

BTW: I am in the US.

As you sure its the hub? usually front wheel squeal is brakes. Has you rotor worn thin and warped causing the rotor to oscillate against the pads or are the callipers getting sticky and causing the pads not to release properly?

Normally a front hub bearing would rumble not squeal.

It's the hub, starts as soon as the car starts moving and gets much worse the higher the speed. Sound lessens in right turns and louder in left and now there is a slight grinding sound.

Anybody have any tips on replacing the hub?

I'm interested in this too. I've got a right front that's on it's way out.

A front hub is not hard to do, ABS sensors can stick but mazda one are a fiver.

Ball joints can spin but again a bar in the arm stops it. Same a doing any other car

I have done a front hub and a rear lower wishbone, takes about an hour plus pressing the bearing in and out

If you are going to strip it down id inspect it carefully as I haven't hear a bearing squeal, only rumble
