Leaking swivel and droning noise was created by paradox1001
Hi guys
Last couple of days I’ve started noticing a slight droning noise from the front left
Suspected it may be the wheel bearing starting to go.
I’ve just taken a quick look underneath and the swivel is leaking an oily/greasy residue
What is likely to need replacing?

Kingpins and if it's noisy possible wheel bearing. All how to guides available in wiki.

Thanks for the reply

I have no steering shake at all and it leaks without been driven
So could it still be kingpins?

I completely cleaned it up and this is how it looked after 30 mins

This is how it looks after a 5 mile drive
Can the oil get to the wheel bearing and wash the grease out?

The kingpin bearing kits come with a new axle oil seal, might as well just change the whole lot if you're going to have to open it all up anyway
