Re: vibration when turning left?

Elliott,
I'm having my '92 100CS FWD left front wheel bearing replaced on Friday at
Central St. Garage in Natick, MA. I suspect that the replacement is
virtually the same for our cars. The wheel bearing is $75 and approx 2
hours labor. So I guess we're looking at $175 - $200.

Point of reference: Blaufergnunen's "regular" price for a wheel bearing is
$54.95, but during last week's 2 day sale, the wheel bearings were $34.95.
There's a story in here related to these parts prices that I won't go into
right now, but the outcome resulted in my finding a new mechanic.
