Rumbling noise

Postby kjharry » Tue Feb 26, 2008 8:10 pm

Hi, my 06 connect with 35k miles has developed a rumbling noise with a faint knock from the front drivetrain,cant tell which side,can hear it at all speeds, can anyone give me any ideas please,I suspect a wheel bearing or drive shaft bearing,does this model have a history of these items failing at such a low mileage?,thanks.

I would put money on its the NSF wheel bearing, usually the hub nut comes loose and kills the bearing :shock: but the nuts have now been changed :wink:
Driveshafts tend to vibrate when there on the way out, so it doesnt sound like that :?
I take it, it is still under warraty being an 06 plate?
I miss my 'courtesy van'............140 Glx..now a Jumbo :(
