There is hope for the PT Cruiser wheel bearing problem. I am a mechanic but can not do this bearing job at home because the hub must be pressed out of the knuckle and the bearing must be pressed from the hub. The knuckle has to be removed from the lower ball joint, without damaging the CV joint and the bolts on top of the knuckle removed from the strut.

I took my car to Sears (03/10/08)- $50.00 for the wheel bearing, $100 labor and $69.95 for the alignment after all parts are installed. They let me watch the work being done too!
