Exclamation 1996 Daimler LWB wheel bearing noise ?

Hi !

I am new here, I had many classic cars and finally my latest ( I hope last ) is a long wheel base 1996 daimler Six.

I need help concerning a continue noise coming after 70 km / h ( approx 40 mph ) I think coming from right wheeler of the car and causing high frequency steering vibration ( not a wheel vibration ) , I need to change frot right bearing I think... I am painter artist from Istanbul, spare parts difficult to find, If you can help me the best source ( reliable ) of part , I will be happy ,

Thank you very much !

All information welcome to help me !

best

It could well be the front wheel bearing (s) needs replaced, but it is possible that it simply needs tightened. No Jaguar specific wrinkles that I am aware of, simply tighten it while turning the wheel until there is no discernible play, then just ease it back a fraction. Worth a try, worth checking bearings as a maintenance matter, and no harm done if this isnt the culprit.

A loose bearing is a distinct possibility, yes, so Countyjag's suggestion sounds good to me as well.

If you DO find loose bearings, though, I'll wager a week's pay that they're also in need of cleaning and re-packing.....an often neglected 'routine service' item.

Cheers
