GlennK Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Had a grinding noise coming from the rear of the car - always when turning right. Never when turning left. It started to grumble a bit when going straight ahead too so I bought a 2nd hand one off Keron from a 96 low mileage model. Just fitted it today and - the grinding noise is still there *@@*!! Had both rear wheels off looking for rubber marks in wheel arches. None. Checked prop shaft, wheel bearings. Fine. Checked brake pads. Ok. Emptied boot. No difference. Other than a bad coincidence that I've got a defective 2nd hand Diff from Keron I'm lost for a solution! Any suggestions please? Thanks.

bignum Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Have you checked your handbrake shoes, thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I could have said it is almost certainly NOT the diff Hub bearings are the most likely cause, or a sticking caliper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd-mkiv Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 sounds like wheel bearings have you checked for slack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
