Funny noise after wheel bearing change - any ideas?

Featured Replies

Morning all

I've just recently had both front bearings changed and also the off side front hub (as this had apparently welded to the worn bearing?). After suffering withthe dreaded drone of a worn bearing for a week I was rather hoping that the car would drive nice and sweet following the repairs. Unfortunately not. :swear:

I now have a strange and intermittent "clicking" noise (the only way to describe it is similar to the noise from your bike when you stuck an ice lolly stick at the back wheel to make the noise of a motorbike!) which is getting progressively worse!! It starts as three definite "clicks" but as speed increases turns into one "click", almost as if something is fouling underneath somewhere.

I've had the wheel off, had a good look around and can't see anything obvious either at the hub or drive shaft. :S

Initially this was just annoying but now is driving me nuts, I'm takling it back this week but wondered if anybody may have any ideas about what is causing it? The guy in the workshop couldn't hear anything the first time I took it back, he definitely will this time though as it sounds loud when in the car!

Cheers!

Sounds like something has not been nipped up right. My coil spring snapped near the bottom and made a boing noise from time to time.
