Just thought I should add because while looking for help I found so many old posts without the solution! I changed the wheel bearing and CV boot so managed to have a good look. With the wheel off and on jackstands, I chocked the back wheels and checked the differential works to ensure I...

Gave the wheel a good bounce today... nothing... After another look at the CV gaitor, there's no obvious leak but it will need replacing soon as it is splitting. Already checked backplate as these have rusted into funky patterns and had the problem on other wheels. But that was just a...

That is such a stupid suggestion... but I've not tried it so here goes ;) I'm sorting the tie rod end tomorrow so will bounce the other wheel around just to rule that out! I'd love it if you were right! Time will tell!
