Wheel bearing or brake discs? or both!

Postby Paulw » Thu 06.10.2005, 08:29

HI, I have a rumbling coming from my front n/s wheel bearing, the thing is i only changed it about 10months ago.
I do have very harsh vibration when braking hard and when going slow and breaking lightly the warp of the disk does seem to co-inside with the rumble of the bearing. Is it possible its just my disks or is it more likely that my disks being warped has knackered the bearing?
I will take the weel of tomorrow and have a good look, but any advice on what else to look for may prove helpful.
Thanks

I had a rumble which I was utterly convinced was a warped disc; symptoms sounded just like yours. Turned out to be the wheel bearing!
