Diff or Wheel Bearing Whine?

[The Fonze]

I have a whine coming from the front which is most apparant on the left hand side when the car is driven spiritedly around right hand corners.

How would I diagnose if it is a wheel bearing or a gearbox out job to get the diff bearings done?

Thanks

Sam

What you've said sounds like a wheel bearing.

Thanks Dan, the only thing is I dont get a humming noise (maybe a faint whine) any other time only with hard cornering.

Seems to have got louder over time since I changed the gearbox oil as well.

It's as the car leans on to the worn bearing.

sounds like your nearside front bearing. dont by cheap replacements use SKF or better.
