Groaning Dog. . . . .

[SkyHighatrist]

You know the ''groan'' a dog makes when it wakes up, well my Jenny is making this noise every time i turn left. Seems to get slightly louder the faster i go round a corner. . . . ance

Trust it to start when i got a long weekend off work

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ta in advance

Sounds like the classic definition of a wheel bearing on it's way out, and it's one of the fronts given that it changes pitch when you corner

Mine makes this noise wheel bearing mate..well sounds like it anyways

OK cheers guys. How much is this like ly to cost at a garage. Or would it be cheaper / easier to DIY??

 

[Peter]

Unless you've got a press it's probably not a DIY job, the front bearings are a lot more fiddly to remove/replace than the rears. Should cost you around £100-150 at a garage all told

looks like a trip t the local then

Just out of interest, how long would the bearings last because this noise has not long started?

 

[MattJAbela]

mines been like it for just over 3 months?? and i drive hard 90% of the time matey

Phoned the garage and they've suggested it could be a driveshaft issue. . . .

He trying to pull my pants down here or is this a possibility???

Taking a drive down there Saturday so they can have a proper look and determine the problem.

Any recommendations for Puma / Ford specialists in and around the West Midlands (Wolverhampton) area??
