Wheel bearing?
« on: 21 May 2011, 15:34:06 »
Had a drone appear this week.....

Thought it was from the back....but may be wrong.

Topped up the Diff

Topped up the ATF

and the noise persists  :'(

Eases off on a right hand bend....so iirc that makes it the left hand wheel bearing?

And its normally the rears that drone?  no noticable play when I checked the back last night (didnt check the front)

Sometimes hard to localise wheel bearings from the driver's seat.  Have you tried posting young people with sharp hearing in the rear seat as you scream round bends?  Folding down unused rear seats can also help.

If it eases off on right hand bends (loading the n/s suspension) then it's likely to be an offside bearing ;)

[edit]because it's reducing the load on the O/S bearings :y[/edit]
