By the sound of it, the rear wheel bearings are on the way out on my 100,000 mile CDTi . Although all four wheels spin smoothly and without any play when jacked up, when driving at 20-30mph the droning from the rear is quite pronounced and again quite noticeable at around 60. I am inclined to say that the rears are the culprit (rather than the fronts) because it sounds like rear, and cornering has no affect on the noise. New tyres have made no difference.
When searching the forum for posts relating to “wheel bearings”, there seems to be a higher incidence of REAR bearings being replaced rather than fronts. Now is it my imagination, or are the rears more prone to wear rather than the fronts for some reason, despite them being subjected to extra loading from driving and steering?
Thanks, Barry.
