Hi,.

between 90-to-110kmh , I can hear an high pitch whining in the front/center of the car, that it seems to be a dry bearing. It increases with the speed but it is more noticible in that speed range.

VCU bearings?

thanks

Almost certainly, front bearing usually fails first as exposed to all the crap. Change both bearings but use premium bearings not your eBay rubbish or you'll have to change again in a very short time. Plenty of threads/posts on this subject which will state which bearings to go for and which to avoid.

Go for the GKN bearings with the fag race. Available from Foundry 4x4. If you contact them make sure to ask for the GKN bearings, as they do a cheaper bearing as well.

Whip off your rear prop shaft . Unless you intend spending time off road ie. in mud,chuck the shaft int the boot and tape or safely stow the U lock thingy and re-screw the bolt back into the VCU .
