    Grinding left front wheel

    Hi All
    been a while due to work commitments hope all is well

    I have a 1998 Disco V8 5 speed

    driving home last night there was a grinding sound which I felt vibrating through the car the sound appears to be from the front left hand side. I did do the swivel bearings 6 monthes ago and regrease the wheel bearings reinstall all to spec well close anyway. Pads rotors are 6 months old
    Im thinking wheel bearing failure.

    any thought would be greatfully accepted

    cheers WOZ24

    I did a front diff pinion bearing a while ago in the D1. That didn't sound real good when it let go. Is the noise different when the suspect wheel is under load?

    jack up the suspect wheel. disengage CDL ,check neutral.

    turn the wheel via the propshaft-diff flange joint.

    then by the hub..

    you'll feel it.
