B4 front end scraping

[drifterex]

Hi,

I have a scraping sound coming from my front drivers side wheel. It's only been there the last week or so, but is starting to get pretty loud now. As in the videos it tends to happen when turning, but you can feel a vibration/rumbling when driving straight too. Any idea? I thought it may be a wheel bearing.

Cheers.

Is only when you turn from a stopped position? That used to happen to my car when I was stopped and turned the wheel. Mine was a higher pitch but I've since changed wheels and tires and then it stopped. Did you check your pads and your steering pump?

No, happens at any speed.

Sounds like a wheel bearing

That's rear

Yep, I'm a dope. I had heard that you have to get a full hub, but obviously not the case.

For sure better to replace hub and bearing at this stage , especially with a noise like that . Or good second hand one be handier and cheaper , rsr might have one

Would have hubs. Or can supply hub with new bearing fitted etc

Thanks Dave. You reckon I'd be best doing the hub and bearing?
