I’m yet to write a report on the B12 kit and all the other gubbins (I will get there soon) but in the meantime I have an issue……….. 
The car is not well. The kit has been put on, the top mounts done, the RTAB put in place, the new tyres and it’s all been aligned. It has developed an oscillating type noise. I’ve taken it back to TWG and we both seem to agree it sounds like it could be a wheel bearing.
Seems to be coming from NSR wheel. The sound is barely noticeable until its under load (turning right) and it is then that you can hear the sound, whoop, whoop, whoop sort of noise that increases and decreases with speed. There is no issues when turning left. Due to these characteristics we can only assume wheel bearing. With the new suspension system there will now be more load on the bearing in the corners and unfortunately has probably increased the demise of the bearing.
The advice I’ve had is to drive around (not hammering it) for a week or so and listen to the noise to see if it deteriorates, gets louder. While I do this, I can come to terms with the extraordinary amount of money it costs to replace one wheel bearing.
The car is on 75k now so has anyone had any issues like this and what was the conclusion? Also is there anything else I can check? The brakes look fine and so does the disk. The handbrake was recently replaced so it can’t be that either. If it were the diff then surely the noise wouldn’t be restricted to right turns.
I look forward to the wise responses.
