Morning all
Had mot today passed with 1 advisory
Unidentifiable noise from rear n/s hub area while spinning wheel clicking sound heard
No play in bearing passed brake test not sure if sound coming from hub driveshaft or Haldex unit but seems to be louder nearer hub just wondering if anybody else has had this thanks

Just recently been through the unidentifiable noise bit. Up on the lift, no play could be felt, no clicking, diff silent, all CVJs etc ok, possibly a very slight noise from front of Haldex but very faint, yet on the road it sounded really raw from somewhere.

Swapped wheels front to back and the noise changed, tyres? Messed about with pressures, and the noise would change but still not go away. There was the impression that the noise reduced on right handers but against that running it in gear up on the lift, all four wheels rotating and nothing still could be heard. Tyres very slightly saw toothed wear, again tyre noise?

So ran it for a few weeks to see what happened. Kept meaning to take it for a 4 wheel alignment and then try a new set of rubber, but never got round to it. Got more and more convinced it was a bearin though. By chance went down a dual carriageway where someone once took a car ( a Disco D4) for a test drive, on this dual there is a long right hander where 70 mph is definitely OK, but the Disco test driver went round in 3 figures.

So well I got the FL2 wound up and absolutely arseholed it round this right hander, to be met with, total silence. So right hand rear bearing it was. By now it's absolutely howling, plus some vibration, so loud in danger of drowning out Aggers and Tuffers on Test Match Special, yet hardly any play and rotating the bearing by hand it just felt a little gritty. Never had a wheel bearing make so much noise in nearly 50 years of motoring.

In the end bearing changed, all gone quiet, unfortunately England top order batsmen business as usual, collapso frequento, can't win them all.

If it drowns out the cricket I would leave it as it is.

SYFL2 beat me to it - I would regard that as a feature  No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

"Fiat Lux" a philosophy not a car

Thanks for the replies
Hope it does turn out to be wheel bearing be cheaper than a Haldex unit
But have had few wheel bearing problems over the years none sounded like this
Wheel turns smoothly no gritty feel n no wobble
Think I’ll wait and see what develops
Glad you got yours sorted stubbenoldgit
