Hey all. I have a quite unpleasant noise coming from the front of my Defender, it feels to be right beneath the pedals. Can I get some opinions on what it may be? Im suspecting wheel bearing but I have only recently swaped the OSF bearings. Have also swaped out Stub Axle, CV joint, Hub (as the previous bearing race would fall out if you did as much as look at it wrong) and Drive Flange. Dashcam audio attatched where you can hear it pretty well (was swerving at 20ish mph to get it to grind but it will also happen sporadically when driving in a straight line). Many thanks

You can check your front prop easily by removing it and driving without it.
Presumably you have jacked up the wheel to check for play, roughness etc.

Yep, spins freely when off the ground and no play nor roughness that I can discern. Did have a look at the front prop when I swapped out the U Joints on the rear but will have a go in diff lock with no front prop.
