Hi All!

I have a 55 plate 2.7 with what sounds like a wheel bearing noise when coasting. I have had the wheel bearings changed so I am assuming its nothing to do with them and been informed it could be the diff.

Does anybody know the cost or can recommend anyone cheap (South East / London) based to repair / replace it?

If its a big bill il just run it til it smashes to pieces all over the road!

Thanks!!

Hi

Try to determine if it is the diff or not before jumping as garages will take advantage of that

On the other hand you could just change the diff oils its pretty easy to do and should be quite cheap in labour (have seen it done on youtube, doesnt look hard for a garage to do) - This would be good for the car, your service history aswell and also eliminate if the diff is whining or not perhaps?

Weird noises like that could be tyres too, over or under inflated or worn also plastics or guards (brakes) rubbing
Even the alternator bearings could be doing that or the sepentine belt that runs on the alternator

I have a similar weird squeel when turning tight corners at over 10mph only
