A shudder and a fuel pump

Well the car is all put back together with the new wheel bearings. According
to all the replies I got I did indeed get boned with the $119.00 price to
press out the old and in the new bearings. Now the car is exhibiting a new
quality. The bearing groan is gone but when getting on the brakes at speed
there is a very noticeable shudder coming from the right side of the car. I
pulled the rear wheels again and double checked all of the bolts, nut etc to
make sure everything was still tight. The only thing I didn't double check
was the nut at the top of the struts. Could they have gotten loose as the
new strut bearings settle after 50 miles? It feels like the rotors are
hatefully warped, but it didn't do this before the strut housings were
removed. Any suggestions on where to start are appreciated.
Next problem is the fuel pump started to make noise in the last 300 miles.
I'll try to replace the fuel filters tonight and see if that helps.
According to the archives it might. With my luck I'll need to get a new
pump. Any options on this such as with the generic Bosch O2 sensor. Blau has
them for $189.00 but I'm always looking for a deal. Especially if I can use
a domestic one for less cost. Any BTDT's?
Thanks as always,
Peter Buss
