Quick Queery

Had my landrover 90 for a while now its been flawless ever since with regular maintanence from myself. I cant put a date on it but for a bit of time theres been a noise coming from what appears to be the front left side of the landrover its not a concerning noise but it souns like metal rotating on metal just wondering what it could be. I also noticed an oil leak coming from the front left hub but i am pretty confident its not from the brakes any ideas. I am guessing wheel bearing what do you think and if so what should i do.

Thanks jack

Ah, my favourite, the self-answering question!!!

Replace the wheel bearing and Hub seal quick, before yer Landy tries to kill yer.

how much will that cost do you reckon if i took it to a garage

too much.
do it yerself - simplish job.

45 mins if yer know what yer doing, 2 and a half hours first time with a haynes manual. Brake caliper bolts are 5/8 by the way!

i got to do my rears to. It will cost you about £20 each corner.

go for Timkin bearings 2 per hub, dont forget new seals to and might as well get a new locking tab washer while your ordering.

You may want to look into what seal you need from the axle/hub to prevent the EP90 going through your wheel bearings. if it is that, that is leaking. just a thought.

ow yer should add that mine collapsed on my old landy on the M5. I went from the inside lane to the outside and back to the hard shoulder in about 3 seconds!

when i heard mine rumbling recently i put it on the drive and will sort it once my order arrives. Im not even taking it to the shops!

I also got quoted a HUGE amount by the garage, so will be doing it myself this weekend or next.
