julesz 0 Posted June 11, 2004 Hi All, Can anyone tell me the symptoms of a gone front wheel bearing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted June 11, 2004 I had a dull rubbing/ droning sound which correlates with speed, tho after changing left front noise is still there but bit quieter - will change other one too. Just hope not drive shaft bearings :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted June 11, 2004 To test - jack up suspect wheel, put in high gear and rev to get wheel turning to about 4/500 revs - you'll be sure to hear it :!: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
julesz 0 Posted June 11, 2004 Hmm, maybe thats not my prob then. I get really loud squeeking from my front right wheel (but not all the time). It goes away when i touch the brakes, so maybe its a caliper or something. Come to think of it if i roll slowly and listen with the window open i can hear a ch ch ch ch sound as if something is rubbing at one point in the wheel rotation....

aide 0 Posted June 11, 2004 long shot, but have you checked no stone lodged between disc guard - had that one before.... Your pads/ discs new? I had intermittent rubbing/ squeal last year which was solved with simple copper grease on BACK of pads :!: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
julesz 0 Posted June 11, 2004 Hmm, ill have to get the wheel off and check around the caliper at the weekend. Discs and pads arent too old. Im getting the feeling its not a wheel bearing as theres certainly no 'drone' noise... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
