In my experience of FL2s and other cars with wheel bearing problems they can go on for a couple of thousand miles, they just get noisier. I expect that you have checked for the noise getting worse as you go around a corner and load up the outside ? Having said that the last one that we had go was within a few days of having the rear diff done so that the noise was probably being masked by the diff noise for some time. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Most bearings in general come in around 3 or 4 different grades/quality.

Well i had the near side hub off today and the bearings fine. Bit of rust between the drive shaft and where it enters the hub. All seemed fine, put it back together and went for a run.

Do a search on the forum on rear diff noise, it's a common problem with this vehicle. I have had this plus a transfer box plus wheel bearings at around 50k but some have had it at 20k. Read the following for a start.

Did you replace the bearing or just put it all back together? Wheelbearing is a lower pitched rumble whereas diff is higher pitched whine. Your OP said rumble so unless you replaced the bearing, that is what my money is on, had two go on mine - on the same wheel! Don't ask! |

The noise if a rumble rather than a whine. And it seems to get slightly quieter when its warmed up.

Find a nice long left hand bend, quite a tight one, drive along with the whine present, enter the corner and if the noise disappears it's probably the bearing and/or stub, if the whine persists through the bend then suspect the duff pinion bearing.
