It could be one of your front axels aka cv joints. I have replaced mine three times.
no such thing !
There are many dissimilar vehicles vehicles out there called Chevrolet Malibu, and front/rear wheel bearings can be different. Is your Malibu FWD or RWD? If fwd: no. The wheel bearings are ball-in-cage type bearings that are an integral part of the hub-and-bearing assembly which must be replaced as a unit. If rwd: maybe. The front wheel bearings are taper bearings held in place by a nut with cotter pin. The rear rear wheel bearings (axle bearings) are in fact pressed into the axle tube.
i don't know if this will work but i am changing the wheel bearings on my 97 Malibu this weekend and i know that an abs sensor is located on the front bearings....my abs light is also on.... my bearings definitly need work so hopefully i can knock out to birds with one stone

You can tell if the transmission, in your 1998 Chevy Malibu, is going bad. If there is a whining or clunking noise. The transmission might cause your engine to install when you are stopped with your foot on the brake.
I also have a 99 Malibu it also cuts out above 4000 rpm. I checked the plugs they are all good. It is a 3.1litre any suggestions? no
No i have a 2002 malibu that had the same problem when i checked it was the park lock switch that was causing it
If your 2006 Malibu will not go over 40 mph it may be stuck in "limp home mode." You will need to have the car checked out by a mechanic.
Yes it does and should be checked yearly.
Noises are impossible to correctly diagnoise unless heard. Take it to a garage.
Have the Catalitict(SPelling off) convertor check.
Fuel Leak. Possibly the Fuel Pump. Get it checked immediately.
