Ford Transit bearing noise ?
macc man - 30/6/12 at 12:56 PM

Just looking for ideas as to locating a droning noise coming from my Transit connect. I jacked it up and turned the wheels but could not find anything wrong. It happens at all speeds and gears. Seems to have got worse in last few weeks. Van has done only 70k so seems low for a diff problem. I will try changing the wheel bearings first but welcome any suggestions thanks,

Front wheel bearing are common failure on transit connect. or you havent got a distorted tread on a tyre this can cause noises like a wheel bearing...
