Hey everyone!
I'm new to the forum and also to the world of owning a large 4wd so be gentle.. noob at the 4wd thing but mechanically minded enough to do it myself but being a new unknown car I'm reaching out to yall.
I recently picked up a 90 series (50th anniversary) from a friend as a bit of a run about/work horse while my other car is off road for repairs but its grown on me so I've decided to keep it was another daily/ family car/touring
I've been doing a bit of TLC to the car and I've noticed there is a hum/whine/resonation at around 80kph from the front of the car.. it can be heard in the lower/higher ranges but is really easy to hear closer to 80kph and is much more audiable at that speed.
Now previous experience with other cars have suggested the wheel bearings are cooked but others have suggested diff noise. i would have thought the sound to change with acceleration and deceleration and with the changing of gears would suggest diff so i don't think that its the issue but i could be wrong?
What are (if any) known issues with the front end of these cars regarding diff/bearing noise at speed?
thoughts and suggestions would be great! not an easy thing to diagnose over the net but maybe there is some gurus on here that will well and truly know more about these majestic beasts more than i currently do
Cheers!
