Lsd noisy

[rob]

I've got a 2.8i special that has a road speed related whine coming from the back axle(lsd axle).
Its not loud and at the last MOT I was told the nearside wheel bearing has a little play in it.
Could it be the wheel bearing or does the slippy diff have to come apart?
How difficult is this?

if the bearing had play in it, then it sounds like it's definitely that.

I think Mark has a guide on how to change rear wheel bearings in his servicing section.

It's not that difficult, you just need a garage or engineeing shop to press the new bearing onto the halfshaft for you.

I just had both bearings replaced, and they were very hard to remove! One had to be destroyed with Oxy-acetaline (Sp)

One was not really necessary, but the removal of the noise was wonderful
