You need to jack it up, And put it on jack stands. Its a safty thing. Next spin the tires with the engine, Put it in drive. let the Brake off slow. Don't forget to block the front tires with a brick, or a 4x4 or 2 pieces of fire wood. Put one under each front tire. Now run the engine 30 to 35 miles per hour.With the tires still on your Rover. Pay close attn to the noise as the tires spin. Now pull the wheels and pull the rotor or drum off. Now if its a bearing you will here it. Be sure to let off the gas pedal very slowly so you won't hurt the drive train. We checked wheel balance, Wheel bearings, Brake noise, even out of round tires can be spoted while running the tires on and off to do the test. its like driving it down the road but you can get down there and look and hear things. I sure hope this is helpfull to you.

Jack it up, and see if there is play in the wheel bearing. Do this on a flat surface with the car in gear, jack up the car, release the handbrake, grip the wheel and see if the wheel wobbles slightly. alternativly, spinn the wheel, and try to track down the source of the noise.

Hello. if you have a noise when driving and turning it will be a cv joint. but if the noise is there all the time going down the road more than likely a wheel bearing. cv joint today are cheaper if you buy a rebuilt axel for the side with noise. you must remove the axel from the hub, then pop it out of the tranny. best if the car is higher on the side you are taking the axel out of. then you will not loose all the fluid. but it is best to be ready to put the new axel right back in the tranny. make sure it is clean, no dirt on the splines.

How to fixe a noise on the rear truck axel?

Probably a problem with pinion shaft endplay. New shims would take care of it, but if you don't know how to work on rear ends, then finding a shop that does suspension work or the dealer would be your best options ( or some guy on craigslist if you want to gamble ) It's really not a difficult job, but it requires know how and you'll need to replace the rear differential fluid ( make sure you get the right stuff it the rear differential is limited slip )

The rear Drivers side axel has play.

I would certainly replace the axle with play. But this may not be all. Could be wheel bearing as well.

How do I change axel bearings on jeep GC ltd. 5.9? Need a step by step for this procedure. My right rear makes noise when I turn the wheel all the way to the right and go in reverse, almost like a binding...

Job is not terribly difficult, but instructions are too long to re-write them. Get yourself a haynes manual (about 20 bucks) and it will guide you through the job. If you need any help along the way, I'll be glad to help! (manual will help with lots of other stuff as well!!
If you have the setup I'm thinking of, make sure you buy a new diff cover gasket and gear lube along with axle bearing.
good luck

Humming or howling from the rear axel has two possible sources. One is a wheel bearing and the other is the tires. Look at the wear pattern on the tires. If they resemble a tractor tire with uneven edges, then it is possible that the tire is making the noise. When you use the term intermittant, do you mean only at certain speeds, or does the noise come and go?
