Right say i wheel baring is going i know ur supposed to be able to rock the wheel etc. But would a worn bearing cause a wheel it judder and sound like somthing is lose on the suspenion area when hittting a bump?

 

could well do - it will also whine when put under loading aswell - say you corner left, the right wheel bearing are taking the load more than the left, therefore a failed unit on the right would whine.

when the offside rear bearing went on mine, could hear a whinind and knocking aswell

 

Yeah i remember when i bearing went before it made a hell of a noise! Might jack the car up AGIAN and see what it looks like. When i turn left i can hear a quite grinding noise so i wonder if thats it

Hmm worth checking i suppose.


Cheers for your help mate, i will get this problem sorted

 

the grinding coming from the front or rear? sounds suspiciously like a wheel bearing to me

 

front where judering is coming from. Its only a slight grind though

 

Any idea how much they are too?

 

defo sounds like a bearing

last one cost me 32 quid from a motorfactors but that was compelte kit - dist seals, bearings and tapers + big nut

if you get one from ford, but a nut from elsewhere - have had problems with the standard ford nut working loose even after hitting the lip into the keyway with a drift

 

Had that trouble with my old 4x4 saph,think 2wd front bearings are diffrent?

 

If it was a bearing i think the MOT guy would of picked it up mate.But you never know.

 

2wd front bearings are differant m8 - rear ones are the same IIRC

front ones are a piece of cake to change - the rear ones can be an arse to undo the big nut, but once thats off they fall out easily

 

I know Stretch but i honestly dont know what else it can be

Bloody things! lol
