Wheel bearing??

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
Wheel bearing?? was created by facade
I had a bit of trouble with a rear oil seal recently that washed all the grease out of the bearing, so I prised up the metal shield, and squirted grease under it.
Anyway, on Sunday coming back from Piratemania (don't ask :whistle: ) Click, click, click from the back drivers side.
Stopped, checked the wheel, can't see anything, carried on, click click click, definitely louder turning left.
Got home and jacked up the back, cant feel anything, except my goodness, the diff is rough when the wheels are turning opposite to each other, maybe a tooth off one of the spider gears. Ran it in gear with the wheels up, not a trace of noise. Play outwards in both wheels though...
Almost ordered a new bearing anyway.
Then I spotted the half nail sticking out of the front tyre :huh: all ground and polished where it was rubbing on the road.
Pulled it out and the noise has gone.
Waiting to see if the tyre goes down now.......:dry:
