HELP! Front hub noise 2002 GU
Hi guys. I am only new so hope I get this right.. not real technology savvy lol. We have a 2002 GU 3ltr turbo diesel which we bought second hand in pretty good nik. A while ago we broke one of the hubs doing something stupid so decided to replace the auto hubs with manual ones. It was great at first (AVM but not the high performance ones) and then one day the left hand side was making noise so we checked it out and decided to replace wheel bearings and front disks and pads etc the whole lot. Hubs are still making a noise like a clicking... like maybe hubs are trying to engage?? Used to just come on in spits and spats and only for about 20 or 30m or so then normal again. Pulled the hubs off and one side seemed chewed out... blamed the AVM hubs and got some others off a GQ. Now it seems as though the noise is there constantly like a wheel of fortune wheel spinning... tik tik tik and constant sound of spinning. Sometimes the sound is more severe but always there. It is driving us crazy. What could it be?? CVs have been checked and all good. Wheel alignment all good. Everything has been replaced. I have tried putting it in 4H which helps but only for a short period of time. I am kinda out of money to throw at it just exhausted. It has been to a very reputable mechanic who just seems dumbfounded. Any ideas would be so helpful. Thanks guys.
