URGENT HELP NEEDED - CAN I DRIVE MY CAR TO GAYDON??
It's humming a like a good-un - on the rear - sounds almost like there's a vacuum cleaner running in the back of my car. Question is, do you think it will be safe to drive the 200-300 miles I'll end up doing this weekend or is my wheel likely to fall off?!! :dontknow:
Any advice appreciated - dont want to come without the Golf but equally I want to make sure I get there in one piece!

Thing is it might be fine - or you might knaker the sub axle as the bearing usually spin when they lock and weld to it - Ask Phill 8O
If it is really noisy all the time i'd avise no.
If it is only noisy when goung around a corner I'd risk it.
Small print: warning - listening to crazyquiff may endager life, do not pass go.

Because of a stripped thread I changed both rear drums and wheel bearings on Friday. As I have never done it before I decided that I didn't want to find out that I'd done it wrong on the M25.
They seem ok though.
Couple that with moving house on Wednesday and living in a sea of boxes I decided it was a no go.
The photos are brilliant though, feels almost like I was there…

ops: yep, makes a lovely mess of the axle when the bearing welds to it at 70mph!
