Wheel bearing...EDITED...Not the wheel bearing???!!!!

<< < (2/2)

Range Rover Blues:
The spider is located by a slightly dished plates in either bearing cup, so it's entirely possible that the needle rollersd are fine but that the thrust washer has failed, allowing the prop out of balance which will only make it worse.

Unfortunately tapping the bearing cups during assembly can damage this part, that's why I press them in with a G clamp.

Iain C:
Cheers RRB...when I put it together I'm almost 100% sure I pushed them in using a workmate so in theory that should not have happened...

Just have to change it then I guess!

Range Rover Blues:
Check all the bits are there when you strip it down, possibly one fo them was missing, you might not have noticed when the Uj was brand new and the bearings still tight, otherwise I don't know how else this could have happened short of loosing a circlip.
