After a little investigation I believe a bad wheel hub assembly maybe the cause of my ABS light and low tire pressue light on the dash. I looked up the parts and they arent too bad ~$110. My monte has 125k miles so im sure one or a couple maybe shot. Any idea how to check it see which one or ones are bad? I still need to get my car scanned to which ABS sensor is bad but I figured I could avoid a diagnostic fee if there was any way to tell otherwise.

 

,,Please check back on your thread question, and hopefully one of our expert tech's will post a solution to your problem. I think it's best to get a scan. Also, compare your price on hub's to the below.

First question would be what year monte carlo? If its between 2001 and 2006 go here, any earlier, i cant help http://mibearings.com/Parts/CHEVROLET/MONTECARLO.html

 

The ABS light code if you get it read should be able to determine which assembly it is.

 

Pep boys or Auto Zone will usually give you a free scan if you ask. Or call a few local mechanics and ask them if they would scan it for you for free. It really only takes 5 minutes and should be free even from the dealership but they like to charge $100 for that 5 minutes because its all about the Benjamins.

 

Ok thanks guys. I will just have to get it read and stop guessing. I was told to jack the car up and see if there was any play in the wheels when grabbing the wheel at the 12 and 6 oclock position. There was some play on both sides but a lot of play when rocking it side to side, ie the 3 and 9 oclock postion. Is it common for the rear assemblies to go bad???

Its a 2000 btw.

 

I've changed two assemblies, my left front and my right rear.

So yes, it's possible for the rears to go bad too.
