Now then fella,hows you doing,still laughing from your visit, even the bliddy butcher asks.........

Now this here noise, I take it it only makes it when said bus is in motion?
Is this only forward motion or reverse as well? ha bet you never checked that did you.
Have you had it jacked up on one side at a time and run it.
give me a ring in the next 1/2hr else tommorow

Thanks for feedback Mike, experiencing same problem after checking all wheel bearings, so cv joints next.

It was the outer (wheel end) by the way, as this is the harder to remove/grease/service, best to stick a new one in each outer for what they cost. most of the effort is in the removal
