Going to put a bearing on it I think, it's the cheapest option!

mine was the opposite one to the side I thought the noise was coming from - so worth checking that (or doing both)

I didn't Jack the left hand side up, as was convinced it was the drivers side!? I'll try it before I go for the drivers side!! Was only using the scissor jack in the boot, my trolley Jack was stuck behind my car in the garage...

Mine was the same. Took the one side off only to find there was nothing wrong with it. Swapped the other side and it sounded like someone had put sand in the bearing instead of grease!

Mine went within a month of each other, if that's any consolation if you change both.

Careful with the sensors, LR ones seem to be made of a very fragile plastic.

Still not had chance to get under it, had the sister in laws Vauxhall in need of a rear brake change, (offside rear pads left to wear down into the metal, the disc was FOUR!!! Censored mm thick!?
It's now developed a knock from the front, hoping it's not an arm bush that's worn, sure it's already had track rod ends...

Finally!! Managed to change the bearing... Pain in the backside job from the start. Wheel nuts were a variety of sizes, my jack shat itself, so had to get by with the factory Jack. All of the four hub bolts fought me to the end, one of them rounded off Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes
The only bits that thankfully were trouble free was getting the ABS senser out (had visions of that breaking) and the hub itself came out really easy! Thumbs Up The old bearing was stiffer than the new one and also had a notchiness to it.. Great, that's got to be the problem sorted!! Very Happy

Put it back together, road tested it. Exactly the same... Censored Censored

Fed up is not the word!! Can't believe I got the wrong side!?

Just wondering if the other side bearing cured the problem

Did you manage to sort it.. I have a similar ... not exactly the same sound but am not sure if its wheel bearing, drive shaft, diff or transfer box....

any info appreciated
cheers

I've just done both front bearings but still have a sort of dry creaking noise developing into a whine and slight vibration, sometimes through the steering. The noise is only under load around 15/20mph . Answers to my post suggest "chassis ears" as best way to find the fault. I might have to invest in them if it gets worse.

Mine had zero play or clonking also, my indy put it up on the lift then they lifted it so that the wheels would spin and they could isolate the noise and immediately you can hear the noise coming from the right front wheel. They used a long screwdriver to listen in. They double checked the left wheel and diff, but no noise. Ear back to the right hub and it was reconfermed the right hub bearings are making the noise. Getting the hub replaced next week.

what tyres are you on?
some, especially the Grabber AT2s make a similar droning noise when worn
even when a good 10 mm tread left.
