Whine from front end

[Ghost-Who-Walks]

Hi

On our way home from the Pilbara to Perth, pulled into Geraldton last night. As we slowed coming into town, I noticed a low whine coming from the front end (probably rhs).
RAC had a quick look/drive and said "it would be OK". Hmmm. Not sure.
Couldn't feel any heat around front wheel hubs or the front 'drive shafts'(?) after we'd stopped.

Tyres looks ok (6mths old).

Only other thing is that the front right got a pretty heavy knock whilst driving in the hills up north (enough to mark/gouge the rim a bit [emoji20]).
Could I have a damaged brg or something else? Where? What?

Help appreciated!

Thanks

Rob

If you are still in Geraldton,contact Whyatts on here,they are factory backed Land Rover Specialists.I dont think they are open on saturdays,look them up online there may be a mobile number.
They were RAC contractors.

Is it only when moving?

A week or two before my alternator died it started to whine, coincidentally after going through a large pot hole.

Whyatts have been super. Looks like front left wheel bearing...

But could always be much worse... [emoji846]

I was not brave enough to talk about that one.

Not again :o

At least you are a little closer to home this time.

Ours was flat bedded out of Gunlom Falls a week ago with a fuel leak so we know the feeling.

Yes, I feel a bit ripped off that it's 'only' a wheel brg. [emoji16]

If I'm going to be towed, I want it to be something 'serious'!!! [emoji50]

Plus, a big shout out to Whyatts in Geraldton. They were awesome! [emoji106][emoji108][emoji122]

So how much should I expect to pay for this?

As I understand it, the hub gets replaced as a whole (rather than just replace the bearing)... Plus labour etc.

Has anyone got any previous experience with this - most people I've spoken to say that wheel bearings on D3/4's are not that common...

Thanks

Front are as you say on a D3 Rob, I assume therefore that the D4 are the same.

Rear bearings can be done on their own (as ours was a few months ago).

[whyatts]

LRA R.R.P for a genuine hub assembly is $499.35 + Gst
Labor time is 1.2 hours. - Should give you an idea, Shane. :)

Recently cost me $550.00. for 1 front.

[Ghost-Who-Walks]

Thanks for your responses - $500 - $600 is on the money. Similar to my cost (plus some other bits that needed doing!)...
