I had this issue with a Honda accord, the sound may be your CV joints and not the wheel itself.
does a 2002 mazda protege have a front wheel drive
in the stearing wheel
Like any other wheel?
yes
ball joint, sway bar links tie rods have it checked out
Directly in front of the driving seat.
5X114.3
I just replaced a wheel bearing in my, 03 protege 5 it was $60 for the part and $60 for the mechanic to press it in.
the haynes book says take it to a mechanic
under the steering wheel bottom left side
you need to press out the bearing inside the hub assembly.
No, you need a press to remove and install the bearing.
