Hi,
Been driving my F6 around since bringing it home last Friday, TBH the roads around my home are very different to the only long trip its been on and the roads from where the van spent all its previous life, Toledo is very flat and dry, car was only used on short urban trips, where I live its costal mountain B/A roads, lots of twists and turns and inclines etc.
Driving it Sunday noticed whilst driving it it had what felt and sounded like a warped disc type noise, don’t think its drive shaft related ( noise doesnt dissapear when coasting straight out of gear, doesnt get louder in on direction or other on steering lock,but remains in ‘background’),
Monday bought some new discs, changed yesterday, bearings looked to be Ok ( assumption on my part on inners),bearings on stubs after cleaning old grease off looked and felt to run fine, replaced discs, repacked grease, reassembled.
Took it out today, brakes fine, wobble/hum still there, with new discs after bedding them in on outward journey, noticed that if I stab the brakes it pulls slightley to left, to me indicating suspected play (wooble/hum=problem) is on that side.
Am I right in thinking now Ive elimimated the brakes Im dealing with a dodgy inner bearing one side?, I cleand up both sides suspension and driveshafts when doing discs, checked all bushes and balljoints for play with pry bar,( its still got the factory paint on all of the suspention,even down to colored paint marks on bolts and balljoints!, will photo and start ‘project’ thread...)
Would prefer to know any other likely candidates while Im ordering bearings to order same time so all likley things are eliminated before I have to go to the expense of having a new driveshaft (driveshafts both appear ok, gaiters sound, the side i supect the grease was dryer than other side in bearing/stub outer bearing appeared fine)
Second opinion anyone ?
