| Re: Possible wheel bearing? Front or rear? Jack the car up and spin the wheels up by hand you may feel roughness/tightness in the bearing.... Failing this take it down a private road and if the wheel that is loaded is noisey then its possible its that bearing HTH Phil

| Re: Possible wheel bearing? When my wheel bearing had gone i jacked the car up and felt for any vertical free movement in the wheel. There was lots on mine and i got the bearing replaced.

| Re: Possible wheel bearing? Jack the car up, spin the wheel whilst holding onto the road spring. Any bearing issues can usually be felt as a vibration in the spring. |

| Re: Possible wheel bearing? You should notice of it's the wheel baring or not when you go round corners at a moderate speed. That's when i noticed it.... going round the roundabout!
