front wheel bearings
I saw the write up but what I would like to know is:
1) Is there another method without using a hub tamer like device to remove the hub?
2) Can I get away with removing the whole spindle assembly, pressing out the old and pressing in the new without doing an alignment after?

RE: front wheel bearings
Well in theory the spindle doesn't really affect the alignment in any way. As long as you don't twist the tie rod end, or un-bolt the subframe you shouldn't need to align the car. Now on a car like a mitsubishi taking off the spindle will mess up the caster and camber. Caster isn't adjustable on an audi, and the camber won't move unless the subframe is un-bolted so you should be ok.

My car sucks
I need some advice / help.......... I have a 2004 Audi A4 Quattro and over the past two months my car has started making a horrible grinding, clunking noise when I stop, slow down or turn a bend. It's SO loud and embarrassing! I feel like I'm truly driving a hooptie! Any idea what the prob could be?
