strange noise

[jimmy1888]

 Im getting what can be best described as a grinding noise, similar to when brake pads are down to the metal but not as loud. get it at low speeds pretty sure its there at faster speeds but due to exhaust cant hear it I suspect its a wheel bearing but im not sure what the signs of a wheel bearing going sounds like.

 any ideas welcome

cheers

Jack car up and wobble wheel side to side. Spin wheel 90 degrees and repeat. When spinning the wheel listen for the whistling bud. Sorry about the spelling

cheers will try that tommorow, would a knackered bearing cause the car to pull to one side?

on fronts hold the spring aswell and you might feel vibration from bearing if fu..ed

i had same sort of noise yesterday jacked car up turned out a stone had got stuck between brake disc and the metal cover...if that helps haha

if really gone then pos as hardly any spin but thats quiet rare, bearing left for months and months will cause that

Mine was a new hub cos of my bearin was well bad. Should b okay if quickly sorted. Bearing don't cost much.
