Wheel Bearing?
Here's a noet asking for creative ideas on a noise.
For at least two years, we have heard a rattle rom the RF corner of
our 1990 200 when going over bumps with the windows open. I've
checked the bumper, body aprts in front, grille, etc. and can't fidn a
darn thing that's loose. Nor can I find anything loose on the
suspension adjacent to or connected to the RF wheel.
Hmmm.
Recently, we've noticed a clicking sound - not all the time, but
often - from that same LF corne while cruising at low speed. We're
house-hunting and so have been doing a lot of 20 mph slow cruises
down residential streets with the windows open - perfect for hearing
clicks.....
I'm thinking a wheel bearing is announcing problems. However, I'm
not sure how to test and confirm this. I know others have BTDT
and I would welcome any suggestions on testing or methods of
confirming whether a wheel bearing is the culprit.
TIA...
