Q: Wheel bearing
Hi, very recently my 2000 Lincoln Navigator began making noises from he back real wheel area. I believe the driver side. I took it to a mechanic who drove it and said a beating was bad and that he wanted to replace the whole back end at a cost of $900. He said replacing just the bearing is to labor intensive and would end up costing me more any how. Does this sound right? Is any one able to help me in my area?? Thank you, Jennifer Altamirano

Replaced alternator and all was well. One day went to start the car and it made weird noise then shuttered and died. The belt doesn't seem lose.
Check the drive belt and see if it has a glaze to it. If so, then the drive belt (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/serpentine-drive-belt-replacement) is stretched and needs replaced. A drive belt has a life span of about 25K miles. Having 40K miles on...

Car grinds, wont start has a new battery that is now dead from sitting autozone said starter is ok and I turned the flywheel
I would recommend replace the starter first since there are issues with it and a bench test only checks to see if it turns and does not test the drive gear. Replace starter and go from there.
