ive a whirring sound from the nsr wheel area, ive changed the hubs cos i thought it might have been the bearing (i even changed the tyre cos thought it might be that) but to no avail am i right in thinking that it might be the cv joint? or could it be something else

thanks

 

Just a thought but could it be coming from the opposite side?
When I had a knackered bearing it was on the right hand side
but actually sounded like it was coming from the left when I drove.

 

well never thought of that one but i replaced both hubs and still sounds like the nsr

 

have you got drilled or grooved discs on your car these make a noise when driving and is normal.

 

yes i have grooved discs, never thought of that one either lol and theres no way of seeing if this is the case might just have to lump it till i change my discs again

 

it is and its normal on grooved discs to hear a slight whirring at low speeds.

nothing to worry about.

 

thanks will have to wait and see for now

 

I thought I Heard a similar noise so changed the hub and its still there, engine tuner diagnosed as worn rear diff

 

ill have to investigate that one, but sounds very feasible.

cheers forgedmarco

 

so if it is the rear diff what type of diff would i need as there are so many types lol

 

I had exactly the same and it was just the rear pads where quite worn, it could just be a the low wear indicator(s) rubbing on ur grooved discs. I thought mine was a bearing sound aswell at first, replaced discs and pads and it sorted it.

 

peteH16 i hope its not them as they have only been on for about a year

 

When I was trying to diagnose the sound on mine I went on you tube and there's actually quite a few vids on there of people that have recorded the sound of their scoobies with worn diffs. It makes quite a distinctive sound which enabled me to rule out the diff when diagnosing mine. Might be worth you tube watch/listen first.

 

thanks mate ill have a look/listen

 

Ask a breaker on here they'd know if you need one. Try Matty from pole position

 

Ps changed the oil in mine and it got quieter, used castrol universal

 

yes Marco thats gonna be the first thing i do before i go down the changing the diff route
