hi when driving my car it sounds like there is a wheel bearing noise on my car from the back you can hear it when going about 5 mph and foot of the loud pedal and when you put the power down it goes but when it goes over 60 mph it still makes this noise,I'm thinking it maybe a diff problem or propshaft anyone else had this noise

has the haldex unit been serviced recently :smiley:
-
the previous owner said he had it checked over but without a receipt I'm not taking his word for it

probably means no then :sad:

Check you dont have a binding rear caliper.. i had that last winter :wink:
-
Running wide wheels/camber? This kills the diff's in no time.
But as said, Haldex needs changing every 40k but this wouldn't wine like a bearing, this would just make your 4motion slip or jumpy.
Ideally needs to be listened to on the road and on a ramp by a garage :)
