swivels ??

burgerman:
Hi there, got a 1991 v8 discovery, it has a noise ( actually it has loads) but this sounds a bit more serious than most of the others,              it comes from the off side front corner,  i jacked it up and not for the first time the wheel bearing was grumbling quite badly, (no play in the bearing just noisey)  so changed it, but i still have a noise that sounds like a dull click/clonk as you change direction, it only does this once every change, but seems to be more concerning now,   I work on the theory that its usually better to replace things at home, than on the side of the road, or worse?   P.S  I have a 10 ton hydraulic press in my garage if any one should need to use one, the neighbours dont want anymore landys or other cars round here but your more than welcolme to bring a "bit round should you need to?  

 if i jack up the wheel i can find no play what so ever any where in that corner or even steering ( most of thet is new any how)  but if the car is restiing on the ground i can feel some noticable play as i shake the wheel in a vertical direction, (nothing side to side)    So im guess ing top/ bottom swivels)  if it is i shall do both whilst its apart,   many thanks for any clues      hope to be able to play on salisbury plain work permitting


 P.P S  im pretty sure its not a cv joint as its only one single click/ clonk, and replaced a few of these already,

 P.P.Ps  Has any one got a spare drivers side rear/top alpine window glass??  got a bit inclined whilst laning the other day and a tree took it out for me    I am in the basingstoke ares or i have a friend in maidenhead if thats closer ?? many thanks

Range Rover Blues:
Is it the Railko bush type swivel or twin roller bearings?

burgerman:
have not stripped it put as yet , but am making a half educated guess that ther roller bearings ??    Many thanks

Lostboy:
Just done this on my nearside corner - it's a set of tapered roller bearings - you can get kits from Dingocroft. Not a hard job (if the bolts holding the swivel pin in don't shear) just messy fro all the swivel grease

nickW:
it does sound like you had the same problem as me but i think mine was a bit worse, see this thread
