Worn Bearing Type Noise From Front

[Rusty Nail]

Hello there intelligent forum dwellers (and people like me)

 

Can any of you help please?

 

I have just had the ole' Galaxy serviced and MOT'd by Frauds and no mechanical issues were found once they had replaced the worn off-side track-rod end.

I have, since this visit to Frauds, noticed a speed related final drive bearing type noise coming from the front end at speeds above 30mph.

The noise appears to worsen on left hand lock but it is very difficult to ascertain from which side it is coming although I do tend to favour the off-side.

 

I have had a search of the forum and the only possibilities I have come up with are :-

 

1) Outer CV's - I have just replaced the near-side and am waiting to fit the off-side

2) Half shaft bearing - The half shaft was replaced in Nov '07 2k miles ago

3) Wheel bearings - not looked at yet

4) Brake discs & pads - Am looking at changing as nearing the sensor wires but are only 2 years (24k Miles) old.

 

Do any of you have any similar experiences or suggestions as to what it is most likely to be and where it may be coming from so as I can start looking there?

 

I hope that you can help in some way and thank you in advance if you can

 

Thank you for you time taken to read this post.

I'm no expert but look at the 1st and 3rd first if you know what i mean :16: It would be a starting point

Thats what I though stevie m, thanks for your thoughts.

 

Just seems a little coincidental to me that it started upon receipt of the car back from Frauds??????
