Front wheel bearing
Discussion
Hi Peeps..Just looking for a front wheel bearing kit..Do i need to replace just the side thats gone..How do i check which side it is if there is no play in the wheel..It sounds like a jet is coming in to land on the passenger side but could it be the drivers side?.. How long will it last before the wheel seizes up..Its been like it for about 3 weeks...Cheers..Ziga

If you drive it in a straight line, turn to the left and if the noise is less then it will be the passenger side. If you turn to the right it would be louder. (usually)
I did my nearside 2 weeks before the BBWF, must have been cheap s
te bearings because it was grumbling again on the way there and back.
Going to order a name brand one this time.
Not all bearing faults show play in them when the car is jacked up, mine doesn't but I can hear it grumbling when driving

Cheers chaps..
Yes they have been tightened and was checked for play but there wasnt any..I can hear a real loud grumble or groaning..especially when de-accelerating..I will probably change both as weginald said..Knowing my luck the other side will go a week after doing one side..Am i correct in believing that they are granada MK2 as the bible states..And as advertised at burton power?..Many thanks..Ziga

I haven't looked at my Bible, but they are Cortina IV/V. Rears are Granada.Yes they have been tightened and was checked for play but there wasnt any..I can hear a real loud grumble or groaning..especially when de-accelerating..I will probably change both as weginald said..Knowing my luck the other side will go a week after doing one side..Am i correct in believing that they are granada MK2 as the bible states..And as advertised at burton power?..Many thanks..Ziga
Thanks for that..I did have them checked and adjusted by rooodboy a little while back and they were re-checked not so long ago but no movement was detected..I will put it on axle stands tomorrow and rotate the wheel and listen for any grinding and check for play again..If i do need to replace tehm are they granny or cortina?..Cheers..ziga

Get them off TVR-CAR-PARTS and they will send you the right ones.Front has no seals.
It is only the rears and yes the standard rear granada set only comes with one and you would need two on a wedge per side. Nothing standard with TVR, but at least we can get all the parts easily enough. Haven't myself replaced the rears yet, but it seems that it could be a straightforward job or you would need a press to get the old out and new in.
Regarding bearing noise, this is difficult to pin point as the sound transfers throughout the car. Even front or rear, and left or right
And the ford front setup needs play, so even an additional parameter into the equation.
With all the jobs you have done I would consider your wedge as an nearly finished non-body of restoration
