wheel bearing.. maybe

How doo
So i have a "rotating" noise coming from the front of the car..
hard to explain, lie a "vomp vomp vomp" and is Wheel speed not engine related.. worse when leaning onto the front drivers side wheel. I.e. left hand corners.. noise isn't really loud, but i know its there..

its on 140k are wheel bearings known to go on these, easy enough to change?

or something in same area?

thanks

Best advice is to have the newer tyres on the rear

Sounds definately like the wheel bearing...
you can buy the complete hub assembly which makes the job considerably easier...but order the bolt which secures the hub to the front strut...mine sheared undoing it!

I also reckon that I have a front wheel bearing problem.
I see that a bearing complete with the wheel hub can be bought.
Has anyone worked with this set up?
Is it ok to use a hydraulic press on the hub to push the bearing into the knuckle?
Cheers

buy it as a Ford part, much cheaper than the LR equivalent.

Could you please point out from which Ford?
Or even better, do you maybe have a link to it?
Thanks!
