hi

got a 1996 defender 300tdi the swivel ball oil seal went on the passenger side front wheel so went to a garage asked if ok to drive until new parts arrive (they said yes) anyway coming back from recovering a boat the wheel in question started to make a grinding noise:eek: so slowed down and carried on home about a 4 mile trip next minute my steering pulls me hard to the side of road and a strong smell of burning follows there is now a constand wering noise and alot of vibration :doh:

what damages could of been caused :doh:

many thanks
 
Your CV joints are inside the swivels could be that which is knackered. Possibly wheel bearings if the leaking oil has gotten to them and contaminated the grease. How long has it been leaking?
 
its been leaking heavly for about 3 days already put one of those 1 shot grease things in it as the grease that was in it is now all over driveway:eek:
