Overrun noise

Hi All,

I've always had a bit of backlash in my 90, but after changing a wheel bearing yesterday it seems to rattle a lot more when I lift off the accelerator, especially at higher speeds.

Do you think I've just put the halfshaft back in and not quite lined it up with how it was before? I have put a hundred or so motorway miles on it, so could it just be a case of nipping it up?

I went for a drive last night after I'd installed it and it felt great. I'm selling it, so rather crapping myself now!!


Your advice would be appreciated,

Many thanks,
Ollie

Just a thought, After sorting my wheel bearing, i took the landy out for a few viewings and it was fine last night. I had myself and 1/2 others at any given time inside.

It is lifted 1" though, and this morning I've taken my tools out meaning not only does it have very little fuel in it, its also probably got 50kg less weight of tools inside too. Do you think that actually the grinding could be the props binding slightly due to the slightly higher ride height? I'm always prepped with tools so I would have never noticed before as ive never driven without them.


I'm just thinking the bearing probably wouldn't have worn in this quick (even if it had, it would still be much tighter than the old one I removed which didnt make any noise), and if I'd inserted the halfshaft at a slightly different angle of rotation to how I removed it, I would have certainly noticed last night.

I hope my vague attempt at logic adds up?!

Cheers,
Ollie

Have you tried jacking the wheel up to see if there is any play in the bearing you have just fitted (in case one of the bearing outer races wasn't fully seated when you changed them). Cant see how you can get the half shaft in wrongly if the drive member is correctly seated and tightened to the hub.

I've ran 3" lift on standard props for over 6months in the past with out problems before buying extreme wide angle ones so It wouldn't be that..

Cheers for the help chaps, turned out the handbrake was binding just a tad. Loosened it off and it was all good. I do love a happy ending!

Cheers,
Ollie
