Yeah, thinking that might be the next thing. How much did that cost?

Thanks!

just take it in and have it vacuum checked, save yourself from fixing parts that are not broken

yeah - that is about where I am. the new iwe solenoid was only $27 and seems like it was a good idea to replace anyway. Thanks!

yes it is - it has the cover over it. seemed smart to replace it regardless of if it was the issue. Seems to be a bad design.

I think it was around $300 for the bearing and hub. Mine was under warranty so I may just be off by a little on the cost.

usually it's the hub actuator that goes out, the rubber seal gets old and cracks...

can you repair that without replacing the hub or is it all one unit?
