already bought the rear wheel bearing and hub nut, cost me £40 and friend is replacing it for me on monday. only heard the loud crack twice but its definately there!! looking at prices of ird gona cost more than the car is worth! duno what to do now apart from cry :((

thank you :) now i'm worried !!! just read the info about the chaps ird unit, he noticed a loud crack on full lock reverse too!!! ****e - only had the car 3 months!

made me laugh :do you now what the classic symptoms of the ird unit failing? does it sound the same as the wheel bearing?

thanks for replies :) whats the ird unit? how can i tell? 3 grander!?!?!? bloody hell that'l be my car gone!!

being looked at later today, got a new rear wheel bearing hoping its that - had wheel bearings go on other cars before but none that made this noise so quickly! mind you drove to scotland last week in it covered 1500 miles and thought it was the roof box whistlng at first so prob been gone a while!

have stopped driving it now :) diff mounts? cracked chasis - dont like the sound of that !!!

hi all, new to here, been scouring the internet for help with my freelander td4 and the awful noises its making! Started off as a small whine from the rear drivers side after about 30mph. Thought probably the rear wheel bearing. It's now making the most horrendous whining and grinding noise...
