Just after a bit of advice, i"ve knoticed a droning noise when i am driving straight,turning right but the noise goes when turning left would i be correct in thinking that it is the passenger front wheel bearing ?? will jack it up tomorrow and have a look and see if there is any play.
If the bearing needs replacing can just the bearing be replaced or will the whole hub need replacing if so how much roughly will the hub cost and where is the best place to buy and one final thing is it a easy job to do. Any help be great Cheers
 
Hubs can be pretty cheap, depends on your budget.
Use genuine LR hub nuts, they are the correct size to allow you to tighten them up by re-fitting the wheel, lowering the car then passing a socket through the centre of the wheel.
I re-used my original hub nuts, just have to be careful to stake them properly.
 
Buy cheap buy twice

Circa £160 for a genuine hub and a couple of hours to replace.
Irwin nut removers were invaluable to remove the 4 hub bolts - for me anyway
 
Went into the main dealer to price up seat adjuster knob/wheel and thought while i was there would ask about the bearing £350+vat plus the cost of the abs sensor
 
Ouch,

Just looked on lrdirect, LR inc VAT ..........................£447.82...........:eek::eek::eek:

Cheers
 
Going to try jgs4x4 as had stuff from them before with no problems think i need a new track rod end as well will find out tomorrow what it needs fingers crossed its not gonna cost me to much £££££££ :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
From what I have read, having never had to fit one......Yet.

These ones have a good reputation. But again having never had to replace one it is purely what I have read.

Ebay item: 300957160995

Cheers
