Hi, about a week ago I changed the front hub bearing which made a wheel bearing type noise upon reassembly, which was a bit annoying as the old one was silent. The advice was dud bearing or warped discs. Well I have fiited a new bearing and discs and the noise is still there, which is even more annoying. My thoughts are I could have replaced the drive shaft in a different position and so its the CV bedding into its new wear pattern, or as I haven't tracked it yet (I also changed the steering rod) and the noise is coming from the wheels being out of alignment. I have changed many hub bearings over the years and have never had this. Any further ideas gratefully received. Thanks. Adam

Hi, no there are no witness marks, no heat or anything like that, cable all nicely tucked into their holders

Checking RAVE and Haynes the only thing I can see I have overlooked is to lube the splines on the end of the driveshaft which the bearing fits over, but I can't see why it would cause this noise

Out of interest, what tyres do you have? There's a wear characteristic known as 'heel & toe' wear. It can be influenced by vehicle settings and/or low tyre pressures. This type of tyre wear can generate noise and vibration. If its that, run your hand around the tread (forward and backward). If it feels bumpy, with resisitance running one way and none the other (from the side the tread blocks look sloped as thought the rear of the block has worn more quickly), then it could just be tyre noise. Just a thought as you'd already check everywhere I'd have thought of looking.
