Bongo Fury

When going round a right-hand bend my Bongo gives a sound and feel like a front wheel bearing that needs replaced. Normally, I would jack up the front of the vehicle and spin the wheels to listen to the noise they give off and diagnose which one was faulty. However, as far as I can ascertain, this is not possible as the wheels are permanently engaged. Can anyone tell me if there is anyway to get round this problem?

You can spin the wheels (although not freely)if you jack complete front or back end up.

If the bearing is shot, you'll probably be able to rock the wheel.

The wheel bearing is not bad enough to allow movement when you try and rock it. No doubt if I wait a few months it will progress to that position.

May I therefore assume that it is not possible to freely spin the wheels so as to listen and diagnose a faulty bearing?

is it only turning right? Check the steering fluid is where it should be, you get a noise when it is low turning right.

Hi Bill,

Is your vehicle a 4WD,if so it could be a worn CV joint.
