Hi
My car has developed a resonance at the front end. It isn't a wheel bearing rumble and I don't think it is the cv joints.
It might be the intermediate bearing on the OS driveshaft.
I could replace that if I have to but would appreciate help in diagnosing if it is that bearing.
Anyone had one fail?
 
Does it change depending on whether you are coasting, accelerating or Decelerating?
I had the drive shaft tri-pod bearings in the cup onto the gearbox fail on me in a Brava once. Eventually, while coasting it was fine but accelerating or Decelerating and it was like the engine and box wanted to jump out of the car.
Lift up a wheel and see if you have any play in the tripod bearings by rocking the wheel from side to side.
Worth a shot.
