driving along today starts hereing a grinding noise from the rear of the car,came and went 2-3 times so when i stoped for fuel i went to the rear wheels.
rocked the rear drivers,seamed solid.
rocked the rear passenger and if feels very loose.
when i shake it you can see the brake drum moving about an 8th of an inch.

im thinking wheel bairing but both have been replaced within the last 18 months?

any thorts would be welcomed

if it was a bearing surely you'd know about it? my back one was going on my civic and it was a terrible humming after 30mph

 

there is a drone that ive just noticed,mostly when i tern to the left.

if its been there a while i havent notice as i tend to have the music quite loud

 

Most likely bearings, probably not installed correctly.
Hammered in, instead of pressed in.

Could also be the 4 bolts that hold the bearing hub come loose from the back plate.

.

 

sounds like wheel bearing. How long ago where changed. If it was done in less than a year i would take it back to who fitted them.

 

where are the 4 bolts?

 

thay were both changed in the last 18 months by 2 different garages
dnt remember who done whitch one

ok been out on the car,had the wheel off def wheel bearing
and the noise im geting apart from the slight drown is an ocaisanal rubing,most likely the drum rubing on the brake shoes.

ok so how dangorus is she to drive as i cant get her fixed til tuesday.

Sounds like the bearing is well gone if there is that much play in it. I personally wouldn't drive it further than you have to, a friend of mine's clio's wheel bearing all broke to bits, ended up knackering the stub axle too.

 

just guna have to,unless someone in the dundee area has a spair drum for sale???
