hub carrier bearing

[sykesMr2]

How would you know if the carrier bearing is gone I'm getting a thud thud thud once per rotation of wheel cant really hear it untill 30mph+
ive got no play in the wheel or the poly bushes and all bolts on the engine mounts are there and tight

one other thing is when the drive shaft seals were replaced at the start of this month we couldnt gwt rhe shaft out of the passenger side and had to drop the whole hub instead

When my rear wheel bearing went, the noise was a continuous rumbling. It's caused by the ball-bearings in the race developing flat spots. A thud once per revolution could be a tyre issue. A grating on each revolution is normally a brake/disc issue.

Does the noise change on cornering?

To remove the hub-carrier from the driveshaft you may need a hub puller or a large three legged bearing puller.

This one worked for me (had it lying around for ages) - it gently pushed the driveshaft through the hub-carrier. The grease on the splines had degenerated into a sticky mess due to the heat and age.

After having a good listen to night I can say it doesnt change when cornering and its more a whoosh noise

These noises are difficult to pinpoint. After a couple of weeks of first hearing it I still wasn't certain which side tthe noise was coming from. I had to get someone to stand on the kerbside and drive past them several times for them to confirm that the offside was the problem. This may eliminate or narrow down the issue.

Found out that the front right and rear right wheel bearing have gone :(
