The ultimate answer to all Freelander nosies is buy yourself a large 18" sub and 300watt amp and turn up the music. If you can t hear it, it don t matter. If it needs replacing it will fall off in the end and then you will know. I have had a Freelander 2 years now and nearly got divorvesed...

ok will do, cheers

ok fella will do, thanks for the support I appreciate it. Will also try taking a little pressure of the diff a little to move the prop up a few mm. Thank you again

i think redhand may be right ......box of matches and a gallon of petrol.

yeah but the outter parts ie the rubber and outter steal cage ain t all that, the actual bearings are perfect the rest is just moulded on

heres another idea if i ve damaged the inner race on the bearing pressing it on would that make the same sort of noise?

marked the rear drive flange on the diff and fitted the rear prop in the same place, kinda forgot to mark the posstion of the front CV but that does not seem to be making any noise, the noise was there before but not as noticable. the noise I got from the support bearings was totally different...

suppose i ll just drive it till something falls off, which will not be to long ! lol. What do doggy diffs some like ?

nop no diagrams at all DOH ! I made sure that the bearings were free before re attaching the prop. I thought they were just dust covers or the like the only other thing i have done is drive it for 2 days in 2 wheel drive. I m confused, I ve re built 205 gti heads done gear box replacements all...

The only other thing i have noticed is that the bearing caps on the replacement were different to the orginals. The replacements were a slightly diferent shape. But i replced them in a likr for like manor cup facing the bearing, looking at the hyanes manual they have them cup facing outwards...

But it is notablely worse since the job, The onlyt other thing i have just noticed in the dreaded hynes manual is the cups either side of the support bearings, The replacements wear of a different "shape " then the old ones the olds ones were placed cup side to the bearing on both sides which i...

But thinking about it there was a small amount of vibration on the rear before but only very occationaly and when reducing from speeds of 75 down to 60 then it would disappear. Only had the VCU support bearings come up as a prob when the car went to the garage for 2 weeks to have the head...

Yeah took the whole thing off and worked on it on the bench, all UJs are ok and the CV joint is good. Kind of stumped really, I think I have done something wromg but there aint much to do wrong I have not touched much !

I cannot feel any vibration through the hand brake or from that part of the undersdie of the car Which was present before changing the bearings

As best I can !

The VCU is new ish ! and the IRD does whin abit but it comes from the back for sure and only on slowiing down ata speed of about 40 to 30 ish. is it possible i have possitioned the prop shalft to far back putting to much pressure on the rear diff ?

After changing the VCU support bearings I have now discovered a drowning type of nosie coming from what sounds to be the rear of the car coupled with vibration, but this only happens on deseleration ? does anyone have any ideas what this could be ? please help kind of getting sick of the car now

Damn can these things be any harder to look at, does anyone just gave a copy that can be accessed without re programmimg the hubble space telescope ?

Erm sorry to be a sad newbie but were from ?

I need to rebuild my freelander IRD, where can I get all the technical data from ? end floats etc etc?
