i have a 93model landrover discovery and have a metal grinding noise
coming from front left hand wheel and the wheel locks up after ten minutes of driving, has new front wheel bearings, fit correctly with the 2 stage torque setting done wheel spins freely when jacked up to check if bearing are locking up.only happens after driving for about ten minutes ,then goes
any one encounter this problem before if so any suggestion would help
if brake piston seized on them the tyre wouldnt rotate when jacked up to check after its happen, i wouldnt of thought that as im not using the brakes at all when it happens .and you can hoist the car up and do the same runing time on a hoist and it does the same thing you hear a grind noise then the front passenger tyre locks up once you stop the car it gone??????? ,the brakes pads are only 3 months old had no trouble with then at all .
If its only locks on when the car is running i'd bet the vacum booster atmo valve is firked. Pull the vacum supplt hose off with the booster with the car running as see if it still locks up.
My 86rrc did the same thing and im not sure why but only the left front would drag...
