BUS: What's the noise?

Post by Merlin »

's up?

Last night I had to push my bus back in the garage, so I knelt down behind the bus and pulled it gently by the rear bumper.

There is a noise, which off the top of my head I would describe as a a clicking sound, much like that of engaging a gearbox, BUT the bus was in neutral - obviously.

Forward or reverse the sound can be heard, and I'm not keen to drive it now in case I damage something else.

Could it be the wheel bearings giving up?

What can I check?

Cheers, N.
