Road speed noise
#14
    Hope this works a pic in focus etc of the inner inner race, the one by the circlip.....ok, but did not place under the text.

This is the inner race that fits right by the circlip, and was very noisy when car going to the left at speed. This was the side that was noisy and notchy when the front of the car was up in the air.

As said earlier the car had been making a wheel bearing type noise but since the car was laid up in January till april this year, the noise was much louder in april, and very noisy when going to the left. A slight vibration was felt thru the steering wheel also.

There is etching on this race as well as on the outer track, and similar on the balls, 13 per race. All the balls show orange peel, some matt areas, etching and some pitting. A picture of these was difficult to take so I didnt bother showing them. The circlip was well corroded.

I can only conclude that moisture has got into the bearing during the layup and caused/increased the etching. There was no wheel bearing play felt.

Didn't have a chance to press the new bearing in at the weekend as the lad tried unsuccessfully to kill his mondy.

Will post final report when car back on road with no noises, I hope.
