Nasty grrrr noise
Robbo:
Ok one for the Doctors out there !
Driving along at about 30 on tarmac, when a vary nasty grrr noise came from the front end. I felt it through the steering wheel, on slowing with braking it felt much worse and made a louder noise, the last few feet inparticular.
It then cleared it self and a few hundred yards later it did it again. Then cleared again and remained smooth and quiet until home about 1.5 miles through town.
Daisy was born in 1975 is 2.25 petrol swb, and mostly original I beleive....
Any thoughts?
Cheers already Robbo
Canada Al:
tell us about the front end . Free wheel hubs ? recent rebuild ? off road recently . have you jacked it up and moved the wheels , any bearing play ? any noise when revolving ? does the prop turn smoothy ? .....Al
Robbo:
only soft off road - lanes etc.
Free wheel hubs - engaged.

front diff given up??
Robbo:
don't know, I'm new at this so any clues greatly received!....would the front brakes be able to sound like this? is it possible to throw a brake shoe? or something of that kind?...hopefully will get a chance over the wk end to remove the wheels and have a looksee....
