so i just swapped in my xj44 and went and drove it and noticed a sound/vibe coming from the rear so i went and got new ujoints and put them in the driveline but first i took it for a spin with no rear driveline and i noticed still made the sound but a lot more faint... so i installed the driveline and put the rear on stands and put it in drive to listen and i figured it was the new brakes so i adjusted them and it still did it, so i decided to take off the drums and test it and it made the sound just as much...
upon further inspection the noise/vibe is coming from the passenger side of the axle, pretty much where the wheel bearing is. i can grab the axle with my hand and feel the vibe pretty good. its not a constant grinding sound like i figure a bad bearing would sound like, its more of an out of balance sound, kind of a woosh woosh woosh type of deal
so would you figure it is just a bad wheel bearing or a bent shaft or bent housing? what all could it be?
