Repair rear wheel bearing 2004 suzuki grand vitara do i need to pull the axle to remove and replace

Hi, The Suzuki Grand Vitara is a superb vehicle, several reasons can be applied to rear end noise.

Most are not expensive or difficult to repair. However a few can be expensive.
Lets look at the most common, wheel bearings, are the usual component to wear and require replacement, if it is a wheel bearing, its much better to have both wheel bearings replaced.

A wheel bearing will become noisy at certain speeds and give of a distinctive noise, best noticed on a flat road.
However a repair shop can easy diagnose a wheel bearing for you.
Other problems could be found within the differential back axle, this can again be easily diagnosed by the engineer looking for a wheel bearing fault.

I hope this proves to be helpful

fist start by saying, what you are doing? we dont know.
What is the goal, ????
my guess is, removing the axle carrier from the axle housing?
you must remove both axles to do that.

PINION BEARING ALSO CHECK FOR CHIPS IN THE PINION GEAR IF LET GO IT WILL TEAR UP THE REAR END IN WHAT EVER VEHICLE YOUR DRIVING

Lift the back of your car.With a stable rest and with the two hind wheels hanging, run your car up to the speed where you experienced vibration. have someone take care of the throttle and shifting while you observe the transmission shaft. You may have an imbalanced shaft.
