Hey everyone, hope all are well.
I've got an issue I can't 100% pin point. There is a drone sound almost like wheel bearings at about 25kmh. Accl load or braking doesn't seem to make it louder or go away, rpm doesn't change it either. Going around a corner at 25kmh does seem to increase it a little. When it happens there is also a small vibration.
I've checked front wheel bearing play, one side had a little the other was fine. Pulled both sides apart and readjusted, pre load, feel, tension/pull test and all within specs. This made no change.
The centre tail shaft bearing doesn't look great (usual cracking in rubber for a 10 year old part) but still appears to be intact, my question is how much movement should there be by hand before replacing. I can move the tail shaft about 10mm in all directions and there is a small chunk of rubber missing just off the edge at the bottom of the bearing housing/saddle.
180000 klm on the Ute with TD 2 inch lift for the last 60000 klm from original suspension. Is there something I've missed? Time is not a major problem but money is (4 kids and 1 more on the way) so I'm not really in the position to be replacing parts going through the process of elimination.
Thanks in advance
