I noticed yesterday that rumbling noise you get when a bearing is going.
It's proportional to road speed, and seems not to be affected by power
on / power off, so I'm hoping it is just a wheel bearing. But it is
fiendishly hard to tell where the noise is coming from.
I *think* it is the front left, and when I jacked it up to test play at
the wheel rim there was a teeny amount - perhaps a mm at the wheel outer
diameter - so that's my probable culprit, but I wish I could be more
sure.
The truck is due for a service and MoT anyway, so I mentioned it to the
garage which produced the indrawn breath and "it's hard to tell which
wheel on a full-time 4x4 because you can't spin them freely" response.
So are there any clever methods for telling which wheel it is that we
yokels here in Devon don't know about?
