Rumble! - Kezzieboy - 01-09-2015
On the drive from Brum to Cornwall the car developed a rumble from (I think) the rear left. Disappears when turning left, is worse when turning right. The old man thinks it's a wheel bearing, is he right?
If it is, how many monies will parts cost, and how much labour involved?
RE: Rumble! - highwayman306 - 01-09-2015
Check rear mounts but rear beam could be culprit here, some guys speaking from experience might help you out more but def check that out as a first guess.
What was the noise like when turning? Creaky/juddery?
RE: Rumble! - Stef205 - 01-09-2015
rear wheel bearings, common when the rear hubs are disturbed one reason i remove them with a puller.
RE: Rumble! - Kezzieboy - 01-09-2015
Hubs have never been messed with, but this beam was in the shed for a while, and although it says dry maybe that took its toll. Gonna get it checked out at the garage tomorrow.
How painful will the bill be, is it a specialist job?

Does sound like a bearing. Not an expensive job, no more than an hours labour.
RE: Rumble! - Redordead89 - 02-09-2015
£50-£70 rough price for a bearing at the top end I hope!
RE: Rumble! - Kezzieboy - 02-09-2015
Good news then. Does it need pressing in, or does it come assembled into the hub? Could an ape like me do it?
RE: Rumble! - Stef205 - 02-09-2015
comes as one unit, remove the centre 32mm nut then pull the old one off the push the new one on.
RE: Rumble! - Kezzieboy - 02-09-2015
Hmm, wonder if I could just use the one off the beam in the garage...
RE: Rumble! - daddyfixit - 02-09-2015
if it goes noisy turning right, then its the left bearing that's gone ( noisy as weight shifts onto it). if you have drums then it need pressing out/new one in, my bearing cost £14

He'll have discs as it's a HDi.
You can't really 'move' a bearing from the old beam, they usually fall apart on removal but I've never done a rear disc one admittedly.
RE: Rumble! - Stef205 - 02-09-2015
They are ok if pulled off with a puller yes they do normally fall apart but goes back together easy enough.
RE: Rumble! - Kezzieboy - 02-09-2015
Well some fucker must have loosened my wheel bolts, never mind, free fix!
