Diff or Something Else

BrownDog · 21-01-2014, 05:21 PM

Lound bearing noise starting at 60, loudest at 80, however at 100 and upwards there is a rather powerful vibration which sort of goes whurr whurr whurr.

All noise and vibration goes away when turning left but gets worse turning right

At first I thought it was the layshaft on the drivers side because the bearing was pretty bad, so a few hours and a waste of $60 later the noise isn't any better so time for a new diff or is something cheaper broken?

wheel bearing

BrownDog · 22-01-2014, 01:39 PM

just checked the bearings by wiggleing the tyres felt no play, soo must be a diff bearing, is there like a $2 fix to get rid of the noise and vibration for while, just enough time to get money for a new gearbox

EDIT: Was just out there spinning the wheel after some googling, and i noticed that there is a noise coming from the hub that sounds like dirt inside the bearing, hoping thats the cause as this noise is gonna send me insane

, normally have the stereo up but that just starting to hurt my ears, how much does a wheel bearing generally go for

the bearing is cheap. then labour and the potential associated issues that com along with changing one is the big issue.

Ahh k, would a hub from a BG fit just to check that it is the bearings, don't wanna waste more money and there's BG I know of that goes to scrap soon

project.r.racing · 22-01-2014, 08:35 PM

it "should" do if it is from a SP model. if 90-92 model, will need to you the ball joint from the BG.

BrownDog · 22-01-2014, 08:39 PM

Damn, that BG isn't an SP, also I only just relised the BA G-Series box has a bigger drive shaft than a BG

Same end splines. Cannot reuse bearings. When you push them out they seperate.

BrownDog · 22-01-2014, 08:50 PM

Don't want it for the bearings I was just gonna put the hub on go for spin around the block and hope the noise goes away before I buy new bearings

BrownDog · 22-01-2014, 08:54 PM

What's a good website where I can get the bearings
