hi when driveing slow 10mph.. my car has all the sings of a bad wheel bearing

but i just dont think its down to a wheel bearing iv jacked the car up and iv had a good look around all the wheels and they have no play in them the ... i think it might be something to do with the gearbox brake

..is that a quick something i could open up and have a look at with limited tools or should i take it to a garage....:doh:

Could be a cv joint or differential problem.

i hope it not the diff ..but its a strange one .. even the man down the garage is lost as to wot it could be

i think it will have to get worse befor i can pinpoint the problem

it dose not effect the car at all i just throught id ask and see if anyone might of had the problems.. do you know if the gear brake is a easy thing to have apart so i can see if thats not the problem its a big round drum next to the gear box... i dont want to open it to find out i need a proper tool of some kind to put it back together

?? thanks

thanks mate iv had the prop of befor and changed wot i think are called shells

and greased all the nips.. but i did not want to open the drum as knowing my luck id open it and it would all go to bits on me

.when i open it up. would it be the same sort of set up inside as a drum brake on a old car??

PS.. can you tell my wife when shes finished at your house

Tyres,shocks,bearings,transfere box,propshafts,diffs, all can tribute to a noise recently had a customer p38a in for a new transfere box and rear diff as the vc had seized and buggered the rear diff and the Tyres too once we had changed these it made a host of unheard noises appear mainly both rear wheel bearings.
The moral is letting it progress could also cost you more spend a few hours with it on axle stands and running it up to speed and listening carefully you should find the fault

Viscous Coupling Unit. Jack one front wheel off the ground, it should just be possible to turn it with a lot of effort. If it will not turn the VCU is seized which locks the centre diff and will eventually destroy the front or rear diff

As I said, just one front wheel to test. Look at Ashcroft transmissions site for VCU's or breakers.

I haven't done one so I'm not sure how hard it is. I know it can be done in situe. Have a look at RAVE for details or do a site search on VCU.
