NSR whee bearing
Hi
I am getting a rumbling from the near side of the car which I would typically associate with wheel bearings - speeds up and down as you accelerate / slow down, intensifies when I turn right etc. Garage said it was NSF wheel bearing. Replaced that and still makes the same noises. I now suspect NSR has gone so will investigate this weekend.
My question to you all is given I have to pull the back end apart, what else should I do whilst I am in there? So far I am at (a) replace top and bottom bushes on the knuckles, (b) possible new backplate, (c) replace all the EPB shoes, clips, springs, adjusters, etc (d) new brake pads and (e) new flexible brake pipes. All the same to be repeated on the other side except no new bearing. Lower wishbones were done about a year or so ago - should I put in new upper ones too? - I get some knocking from the rear end.
Reason for asking is I cannot really take her off the road for too long and will need to get a local Indy to do the work - my drive is about 1:4 as Geoff will testify, so little DIY potential. I will need to give the Indy a kit of parts.
Thanks
