Creaking Rear Bearings
Ok folks, bit of a strange one, recently had both rear wheel bearings replaced, I supplied the parts after purchasing them from Import Car Parts.
After picking the car up from the garage I was delighted the rather nasty drone from the original bearings had gone and all was well, one week later however and the back end makes a sound similar to that of a creaking door on The Archers! (The same garage did my front bearings and all is well there after a few months of driving).
The noise only occurs below roughly 10 mph, forwards or backwards, and is noticeable on the off side considerably over the near side. It is a noise I would expect to hear when metal is rubbing on rubber at a guess. The pitch of the noise definitely differs with wheel rotation speed and I know it is not calliper/disk/handbrake related as I have had them all of and the noise comes from inside the hub assembly.
In all honesty I want to get it checked out by the garage and they are happy to book it in again, just thought I would throw it on here first...
