Pretty urgent. advice needed
« on: 14 September 2013, 10:27 »
My car sounds like it has a noisy bearing at the rear but there's no play in either of them. The noise gets worse after enthusiastic driving but its fairly quiet again after being left for a time.

Is a grinding noise but it also squeaks when i reverse it. Ive had it jacked up to check play and when i spin the wheel thers a slight grinding but nothing overly unusual.

Any advice?

Cheers. i wondered if they may have been running dry or something. Im up grading my brakes soon so i guess ill put up with it til then.

Am i right in thinkin bearings make more of a whirring noise when they're knackard?
