My front o/s wheel makes a sort of whirrr / rumble type noise when I turn right, its fine when going straight, only when im going right. Not too loud, but noticeable.
There is a couple mm play in the wheel. I suspect it is the bearing going, i dont think its the outer CV joint as that seems pretty well greased up.
How easy is it to do? I have done one about 15 years ago and i dont recall it being too difficult! :inquisiti

That does sound like your OSF wheel bearing is well on its way /Hmmm

To replace is a staight forward job, if you have access to a 1-2 Tonne press that is :inquisiti
To save some $$ if you dont you could always take the hub off yourself and take it to a local engineering firm with a new bearing and ask them to fit it for you....
