Re: Wheel bearings
I have the same 'grinding' noise emanating from the nearside front, only when hot after driving long distance which is stopped by 'damping' the foot on the brake.
Also interestingly it has occurred when I return home and use full right lock onto the drive. There is evidence (Adrian Newey) that the movement of flexible brake pipes can cause a slight pressure increase and thus the application of the brake!
The last time car was checked there was no bearing movement nor can I detect any!
So today, its going to be sunny, I plan to investigate further:
a) look at bearing, may need a tad of tightening
b) clean brakes
c) look at piston movement to ensure they are retracting correctly
