RizzleKicks Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Evening Folks , Looking for some advice , the old Hippo has started a thundery Grumble when turning right, notice it more on roundabouts not full lock but as good as. Now it's seems to be coming from the passenger side rear . This is intermittent. Now I had the IRD & VCU replaced 2 years ago. Had a look under the motor today and the rear differential side mounts are solid . CV boots look ok as well. Can anyone advise what else to look out for before I put it into the Stealers Regards, RizzleKicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorsetfreelander Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Passenger side wheel bearing probably front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RizzleKicks Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Evening folks , Finally got a mechanic to look at the issue and it's the Prop Shaft Bearings have started to split causing the annoying sound. Replaced these 2 years ago for genuine ones from Stealers £86 Each and only lasted 2 years and covered 20,000 miles surely they meant to last a lot longer than that ??

FridgeFreezer Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Surprised by that, I found genuine ones lasted really well. Are the bearings definitely actually noisy or just the rubber a bit perished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RizzleKicks Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Bearings were replaced today and the noise has disappeared but now i have encountered another fault . When i start to drive in 1st , 2nd or 3rd gear i feel as if the car is going to stall or a better way of explaing the feeling is when you first start to learn to drive and you lift your foot of the clutch to quick and dip it again feeling a juddering.Now i have had the VCU & IRD replaced 2 years ago. Will be going back to the garage in the morning. Could replacing the bearing could have caused this? I just need to know what to ask the mechanic who carried out the work before he fobs me off.Is it possible the bearings could be put in wrongly ? Vehicle has just covered 70KAny advice would be appreciated.Cheers , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I believe it is possible to get the bearings the wrong way round and possibly fouling something yes, there's a little dust-shield that can get pushed too far & run against the bearing/rubber mount.
