muck_truck:
wheel bearing giving up and gone tight ??

POTASH:
it does sound like a bearing, mine shot to the left on the motorway, when i stripped it the bearing was welded to the stub axle :shock:

RichardM:
It's not something as simple as a big lump of mud stuck to a wheel throwing it out of balance is it?

suggs:
dout it chassis although it did cross my mind, but as difflock effects how bad it is, its much worse without it engaged.

ive meassured front to back wheels centre to centre and both sides seem to be the same within about 5 mm of each other

ive not had a major look yet but on a quick inspection under, theres nothing loose, trailing/radius arms are all heavy duty ones and dont seem bent or loose.

steering seems ok and dosent seem to have any excess play in it, wheels dont seem to have any play although ive not jacked them up yet.

didnt think of a bearing, could be that as ive herd some bad stories of them when they go wrong, we did notice a small bit of grinding just before we got home..

tomorow ill get the wheels of the ground and spin them etc and see if anything shows up. was wondering if its axle winde

Dr Neil:
might be worth checking the bracket on the front axle where the panhard rod attaches as Dave had his break off and it was all over the road.

just a thought and good luck

Neil...
