Ok, so first off apologies. I always dislike the posts from the 'new guy' asking questions, but needs must!
Just before Xmas, i bought an inexpensive 2010 IS220D off a friend. When i picked it up, it had no MOT and the front brakes were a crime - surprisingly though, a fast fit place passed its impromptu MOT with an advisory for those brakes.
New front discs and pads sourced from Halfords for £65(!) and dealt with. Then took it on a 400 mile round trip to see my folks
Anyway, back to the question....
From 50mph up and on left hand bends, I'm getting a drone and vibration from the rear of the car that increases with speed. As soon as the road straightens or right hand bends, silence!
Now I'm assuming that's a wheel bearing - is it common on the IS220? Pig of a job? Can it be done without removing the rear hub assembly, it looks quite crusty in there !
Also, my instinct tells me that its coming from the Nearside, but logically - on a left bend its the offside that's under load so you'd assume it was that side
Thanks for any advice !
