If its not too late to tell you, undo the IRD level/filler plug first as these are sometimes difficult to undo and head corners have been rounded off. You cant use the vehicle with an empty IRD!!!

Thanks for that, Vic, and the others who have drawn my attention to opening the filler plug first!

Hi All,

I have a bearing noise on my freebie also. It comes in at about 30mph.

Heres whats been done :

1. Rebuilt IRD
2. Rebuilt Diff
3. Changed prop shaft support bearings
4. Changed both front wheel bearings
5. 4 new tyres
6. Changed NS rear wheel bearing

I still have a bearing noise!!!

Next to try :

Other Wheel bearing
Replace springs in the rear brake, make sure that the 10 yr old one are no weak and shoes dragging on drums.

After that it time to look at auto gear box, can be the torque convertor or pump, or the bearings.

The battle continues......

And here was me thinking this would be an easy fix.

D'oh.

Got the same prob as Vertuas. 4 new tyres and 2 VCU bearings prob still there. Removed the prop and VCU and problem went away so poss second set of VCU bearings or VCU hopefully

Right then - seems it's not the wheel bearings at all - I hope.

Has been diagnosed as prop-shaft bearing.

Please see my new thread and inquiry.

Thanks to all who offered advice.
