Hello!

For the last 3 days there's been a grinding noise coming from the front left. I jacked it up, and the wheel was jiggling about. So the wheel bearing has clearly gone. This one was new 3 years ago and was supplied as a genuine Volvo part and came in a Volvo box (via ebay - £64).

I suspect that this wasn't a genuine part, but I could just have been unlucky.

Are there any kits that people recommend (other than genuine Volvo) ?

Cheers

Update:

Pls. ignore. Turned out the drive shaft nut was loose. Have tightened to 120Nm + 60degrees. No more noise.

God I love a good health scare - makes you feel so alive! ;-)
