skov Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hi Guys, My focus has developed a very loud whining noise. It starts at 15 or 20 mph and the volume increases with road speed (not revs). It doesn't seem to change with steering input. I checked the wheel bearings and they feel reasonably smooth and have no play in them. I also removed the right-hand drive shaft and checked the bearing that sits half way down it, it feels nice and smooth too. So I went on to check the diff bearings. I can feel a bit of play where the left-hand drive shaft enters the diff - is this normal, or is my bearing knackered? If it is knackered how hard is it to replace? Can it be done in-situ or will I have to remove the gearbox? Also, how do I remove the left-hand drive shaft from the diff? The right hand side came straght out, but the left hand one won't budge. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
