    Hello Dan there’s always something with older Fords. My mate’s got two 5 pots (one an ST500) and has replaced driveshafts on both so he’s a glutton for punishment! Haha.
    Got to keep 5 pots rolling for as long as possible mate.👍🏻

    Shame it didn’t fix your problem wheel bearing will sort it
    I’m shore I read about them bolts in the end of the driveshafts they are one use only and I think it said 45nm then a 90 turn after I would have a check on them but great video as always 👍

      Thanks buddy . Ye next job was a set of front wheel bearings . There was no play or droning . But s slight grumble of spinning wheel and holding the shock .
      The bearings were however hammered when removed .
      The shafts or bearings must been on way out when I purchased car . And they over tightened those stretch bolts it seems to take noise / play out . Like a temp fix. The new bearings and shafts make it a dream !! The wife’s using the car at the moment to now as bigger boot space for the pram . She said everyone is trying to race her 🤣🙄😜

    Just be careful with the driveshaft bolt as they are stretch bolts IE one hit wonders and they do snap! Ive changed mine so many times and the nearside is a nightmare to get out! where the offside shaft goes through the bearing carrier vibration can be caused by the engine mounts as any vibration through the engine will be felt through the steering via the carrier bearing! best of luck!

      Thank you .
      It’s frustrating
      All I can do is describe is , it’s rotational sound . And consistent 🤷🏻‍♂️ picks up with speed .
      Really hope it’s a bearing now and sorted asap

      @@boosted2000 There could be many things causing this and amongst them are the following, Yes a wheel bearing gone dry! A brake calliper sticking and causing the pads to not release from the dics! creating a drag on the wheel and of course the noise! You could have the dust shields rubbing on the disc or not set far enough away from the disc hence when cornering. I guess its trial and error!

      @tracieoliver2307 thank you dust covers are good , I checked them . As had that issue previous on car .
      Not much left to check .
      I’ve rotated wheels
      Done shafts
      Swapped wheels
      Calipers are recently rebuilt .
      If it’s not this bearing I’m gonna scream lol

    I was lucky mine lasted 70,000 miles needing only 2 maf sensors in all that time.

    I had a noise issue that increased when I went over 60mph. It got worse over time. I had two seized calipers in the end, I changed them, then no noise, the problem you could be experiencing maybe completely different tho 🤔 🎉🎉

      Tbh it’s a high miles car , so the tlc is needed

      Gotta be a dead bearing ! Shafts deffo where a factor tho

      @boosted2000 Callipers can only do so many miles, so I'm told put the original wheels back on 19inch are show wheels running on elastic bands over time, they will destroy everything

      Ye was loose and looked over tightened previous , looking at the washer .
      I don’t have a bearing puller so mates garages will do a new bearing for me
      Rather than a 2nd hand hub gamble . Hope it goes !!
