Hi all,
Just the other day I noticed a strange whirring type of noise coming from either the rear left or front left hand side of my '93 2-door XJ. It's kind of hard for me to pinpoint where it's coming from but it's defnately one of those two options.
FWIW, it seems to come in at about 35 mph, and sounds like a "wobbling whir" (for want of a better description) then fades out as I hit about 50 mph....
I'm thinking that it's probably the bearings, and if so, was wondering how big a job it is to repair at home, and what tools will I need to get it sorted out. I work part time at an auto parts store, so I can get the parts a bit cheaper than most....
Also, my engine mounts are due for replacement, and again, I was wondering if it's a job I could reasonably tackle at home, or is it just better to get done by a pro.
Thanks in advance for any help.
