VW Golf Mk2 Wheel Bearing Click - andrew4
I have a VW Golf Mk2, 87000 miles.

I thought I\'d check my wheel bearings by lifting each corner of the car and by holding the top and bottom of the wheel providing a tilting force.

The nearside rear wheel has a slight click when I do this, does this indicate future wheel bearing trouble? or is the click due to something else possibly?

There are no rumbling or humming noises whilst driving?

If taper roller bearings on the rears, it might just be a case of them needing adjustment.

87,000 on a G Unless they have been changed then you are overdue for new drums, shoes, bearings and replacement slave cylinders. Remove a drum and peel back the seal and you will find fluid that has weeped past the piston seals. Time for new ones my friend. Not expensive from eurocarparts.co.uk or GSF and change your fluid at the same time. Regards Peter
