wheel bearing sort of noise

[jay1919]

hi,

im after some advice,i have a noise that sounds like a wheel bearing coming from the front n/s,

it gets worse the faster u go,(its not the wheel bearing ive ,changed both front ,and the rear are good)

noise is still the when i change gear and roll in neutral

tends to get a little louder when i turn right at high speeds (outter cv jionts are all good)

im stuck any advice?

its a ford escort 1997 18lx 16v

If the noise is at its worsed when you are turning the wheels at low speeds, then it is the CV joints. If the noise persists when driving in the straight line, then it might be a driveshaft bearing.

at low speed theres no noise, drive shaft bearing is this a major job?

its an involved job due to all the dismantling that has to be done, suggest you get a workshop manual.

to check the drive shaft yourself, jack up the correct side of the car, lock the steering towards that side as far as it will go, grab the drive shaft and give it a wobble, if it has more than a couple of mm of travel then go get it checked out.
