Hi,

Just been out with a "spare tyre" I had.. A bit of a different size, but I hoped it would prove a point.

Sadly noise still there.

I've just changed the bearing on the rear passenger side... Long standing "play".. that's fixed now with a new bearing and a bit of bearing lock..

The bearing on the drivers side does sound a little rough by comparison, but it's only done about 3000 miles since it was changed post accident.

The hubs I have take the 164 bearing.. Do these stand up OK to wide rear tyres (315), or do they still suffer from short life?

The noise is certainly there in a certain speed range. It's obvious in a straight line and around right hand corner. Left hand corners and it disappears.
This would suggest more load on the suspect bearing though??

For background info... All was good until I had a Cadwell Park track day last year.. I noticed the noise starting on the journey back.
