60 series wheel bearing noise (NOT)

Post by DR Frankenstine »

I have a noise and can feel a slight viabration (not shake viabration but a real buzz like viabration) in my 60 series. Its exactly like a really bad wheel bearing. It cant be though because they are all new. I have put a new clutch in as well and new rear uni joints. carrier bearings are new as well. The noise is non responsive to acceleration or deceleration, Its just there and more noticeable at around 70kays on very smooth roads. Im running 35"cooper stt's and 38mm wheel spacers would these load up the bearing enough to make them noisy?
Any other ideas would be great

Had the same on my rear diff (75 series) when I put new bearings in, so I took everything apart and tightened the bearings again (did approx 100kms) and everything was sweet.
Also when you changed the clutch did you change the spigot bush ? this could be the vibration.
Cheers

Yep did spigot bush, rear main, welsh plugs, input shaft seal and both output shaft seals. By the way the noise was there before I did the clutch. I might check all the wheel bearings again :?: :?:

Check the wheel bearings and kinping bearings are pretty easy .. just jack one front mwheel off the ground and check for play holding the wheel up and down ( 12 H and 6 H clock ) and then check for play in steering components with hand east and west ( 9 and 3 clock )
