Default Diagnosing gearbox/wheel bearing noise.

In the last few weeks I've noticed a noise coming from the drivers side of my van which I pressumed was a wheel bearing.

So I stripped it down today but found the bearing to be fine, but when I spun the wheel on the o/s I could feel a light grind, but not on the other side?

The shaft seems fine so I can only think its either my gearbox or the bearing that the drive shaft goes through on the back of the block if you know what I mean!

It's a 2008 Renault traffic with just 50k on the clock, I know these ain't renowned for gearboxes but not at that sort of mileage.

It's pissing me off as its hard to pin point where exactly its coming from.

Thanks J.
