PUZZLING WOOING NOISE?

[apd 0]

all across the rev range getting a noise like wheel bearings failing/need nipping up?no play in any of the bearing when jacking up wheel and moving side to side/up and down?6 speed box rebuilt at STEALTH 40k ago[now 90k].any suggestions?thought maybe bonrath air intake/milltek system resonating noise.box doesn't whine.some of thewheel arch shrouding is missing to feed the charger with cold air?box low on oil?diffs whining?

cheers in advance.

do you have a v1 supercharger?

vortec v2 SQ,nerih.makes the sound when coasting[clutch disengaged].think i need to inspect the difs-pins/bolted?or is it just normal running sounds because of the mods?STEALTH put the whole thing together so workmanship isn't a factor!

i would free rev (in neutral) and check to see if its the charger whining. if so, check the oil feeds and clean the oil line intake nozzle, they get clogged over time and your bearings maybe calling to you for help.

i think you're gear box is the 6speed close ratio, i wouldnt be surprised if the diff pins are bolted...dont you have a quaiffe too, i think so?

i dont remember hearing any bearing whine when i heard it at santapod, and i was right next to the bugger. so i'd seriously check it out.

i wouldnt f**ck around with it, i'd get it to stealth asap, most of us dont have experience with tuned vr6's to the extent of yours m8, it could be anything.

looks like fooked drivers side wheel bearing.although there is no play in wheel when jacked up.asked my local trusted mechanic to investigate when he services it next week.i would go to stealth,but its a 2 hour/150mile journey.

nerih are you running standard brakes and suspension?anorak tells me the last rr at steath made 303bhp and 278lb/ft of torque,but as you know the power surge of a s/c is relentless.have not looked at the ps/h about the box being lsd or not but carnt recommend the race logic set up enough[should av replied to this in C2 thread?].
