If I turn left there is a rumble from the front right. Is this a wheel bearing calling it a day? My car has done 122k miles.

I had exactly the same symptoms as yours ,it was indeed wheel bearings ,I changed both side

My car is in the garage at the time of writing and it has been diagnosed with a worn wheel bearing. Interestingly, there is no movement on the bearing but definitely sounds graunchy when the wheel is turned.

Had the same on mine at similar mileage - replaced both fronts, although only one was noisy, on the basis that if one has gone the other probably isn't far behind (IIRC it was the N/S/F which is also the one getting the most loading on roundabouts).

Think I see a pattern here

The bearing was very corroded and the chap at the garage brought it out and said “Here you go! Try and turn it!” It was virtually seized solid. The mount had also corroded to the arm. The scars on the old bearing showed the battle between man and machinery.

Booked it in for the other one to be done.

Was it missing any rollers? That’s when you know a bearing is extra crispy. I did one a few weeks ago missing eight rollers, and the guy drove it in saying it needed brakes.

I’ve only had a really bad fight getting one out so far. We remove the bolts, then put longer bolts in from the back and beat the snot out of them to get the bearing to come out. We also put a curved metal plate over the CV joint to protect it. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

There weren’t any bearings missing but they were just worn out. A bit like my knees these days… 🤣

The replacement unit was manufactured by Timken; I have been told that these are the same as the Genuine Land Rover ones.

Timken are good bearings. Watch out for FAG, just received one with Made in China on it. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

A quick update: both bearings have now been replaced. The low rumble that was ever present has now disappeared and there used to be an occasional knock on the steering, that hasn’t happened again either. 👍
