Hi
I've replaced 3 wheel bearing's on my 2002 Disco 2.

The last one was the front left.

There is now a very slight vibration coming from that side. I thought I had it sorted as the brakes were binding as one of the caliper sliders was seized.

That is now free but there is still a vibration and I've also had the front wheel's balanced.

Any idea's.

Thanks

I take it the vibration's there even when you don' use the brakes? If not, I was going to suggest a warped disc..

Hi
Thanks for the reply.

Yes it is there all the time, in gear and freewheeling.

Was it quality or cheapie, has the wheel been fitted on the same studs or turned?

I think I have it sorted.

Changed the wheels over and now the vibration's on the other side.

thanks

Aha! Get the wheel re-balanced I once had to do that (not on my Land Rover), but on a previous car when getting new tyres fitted. Turns out the tyre place's balancer had thrown a wobbler (literally!). They only realised when I went back to tell them it felt worse with new tyres!

Thanks,
I have had them balanced twice now by two different companies.
Looking like its a bent tyre of I'm going mad.
I've Grabber At2's 25,000 miles on them?

Did the tyre fitters notice if the wheel was buckled at all?

No sign of damage, maybe a slight bit of uneven wear on one outside edge??

Going to live with it for while. See if it gets worse, it's very slight and had a mechanic have a run in it this morning and check out drive shaft donut etc.
Fair amount of play on rear output of transfer box.

Seem to be becoming a saga new springs shocks and wheel bearing in the last month.

This vibration only arrived after last wheel bearing but after a run in the car last night my wife says "it was always like that."

These cars are getting older - components fitted at similar times will no doubt wear out at similar times too

Try putting the suspect wheel on the back if it was on the front previously.
