Creaking/grinding noise from rear wheel
« on: 08 July 2011, 01:46 »
As per the title, getting a grinding noise from the NS rear wheel area when turning sharply right at low speed.  Doesn't make it until on quite a bit of lock.  Turning left is fine.  Bit stuck - wheel bearings?

Worn out wheel bearing or bent stub axle.
