Suspect rear wheel bearing problem
Posted: Tue Sep 11, 2018 1:14 pm
Hi folks,
The dogmobile has had a slight knock from the rear end for some time, which I assumed would be a droplink.
It's changed a bit in the last month or two to a regular knocking noise, particularly when steering very slightly to the right, accompanied by a slight but noticeable droning noise at 50 mph+
I'm thinking this is most likely the n/s/r wheel bearing - anybody had a similar experience? (despite about 200k miles in my two, I've never had a wheel bearing issue before).
If that is the problem, is it simply a case of getting a new hub / pulling the old one off?
