Who has replaced wheel bearings?, Scraping noise, need some advice. Options

[DomGT]

I have what sounds like metal-on-metal contact when I make right hand turns. This noise has progressively gotten worse. Now I can hear the noise on bumps and even light turns. Anyone have advice or info for me?

edit: These cars handle REALLY well. Good steering system and 2400 lbs makes my car handle like a brand new Acura RSX! I can tell you this, my 143k mile 6GC handles MUCH BETTER than my '99 twin turbo 3000GT VR-4! The VR-4 is AWD too.

sealed bearings are pregreased and dont need grease added, but bitter is right about taper
roller bearings, too much grease is not good. our cars have sealed, pressed bearings.

you sure the fronts are sealed units? i replaced my front bearings on a press. the REAR bearings are a hub unit that bolts into the knuckle.

yes the front bearings are sealed, meaning the races and the balls n cage are one sealed unit and are not meant to be serviced, so its mostly a matter of terminology.
