Ok, I'm having the worst 3 days off working on grandprixs ever, first off ive been through 4 wheel bearings on this car ignoring the problem at hand because no one could figure it out. so now ive joined this site to see if any grandprix lovers know.
I have a 99 GTP wheel hub keeps going out because the dam CV axle wont go all the way through the wheel bearing, it only sits in half way so its riding half way on the wheel bearing causing it to wear quickly. now ive made sure these parts were correct. stayed at autozone for a hour just to try different year bearings and axles to see if one fits but all I'm getting is the same issue. it seems like the bearing is too thick or the end of the axle isn't long enough like it might need another inch or so. by the way its the passenger side that's doing this I haven't looked at the driver side because I never have problems or nosiness from that side. I will post a picture of it if u need to see one but please let me know if you've had this same problem or your able to help Ive been driving my z28 around and it has full bolt ons so gas prices is getting on my nerves and its not a daily!
Also I was thinking are there similar transmissions for fwd gm cars that might take a different lenth cv axle? I only ask because I know my wheel hub is brand new and the cv axle is brand new and both I got for a 99 grand prix from auto zone. Part numbers match up. like I said its just the tip of the cv axle that goes into the wheel bearing seems like it was made an inch too short, the back off the wheel hub is flush with the cv axle but when looking at the wheel hub from the wheel studs you can see that the splines only feel up half of the wheel bearing.
Help A.S.A.P
