Droning from rear

[Skeeter]

I'm fairly certain one or both of my rear bearings are gone, as I have a constant drone coming from the rear that changes pitch with speed. But I've just jacked it up and there's no movement in the wheels. Is there anything else I should look for before ordering some OEM disks with bearings pressed in?

I would say that its almost 100% the wheel bearings unless you have an issues with tyres not at the correct pressure.

Speak to @g172 about brakes if you need them as he supplies OE stuff at good prices and very fast delivery

@Skeeter check these are present mate or you'll be changing them again in no time:

There aren't any spacers, checked when I changed pads last time and the previous garage that changed the disks obviously threw them out.

I've got new spacers and hub nuts ready, as I was always going to change the disks anyway. Its just the new droning noise without any wheel movement makes me wonder what else I should check while I'm at it .

If there are no spacers it will be that. 100%.

There isn't much back there to drone.

If you checked for them and they weren't there, why didn't you get some?

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

As Danny says it will be the bearings in the rear discs, if those spacers aren't there
