   Hello everyone :) i went to get my car MOT'd the other week and it failed on the NS/F wheel bearing, but i dont think it is the wheel bearing, i think it might be the wrong type drive shaft, e.g tapperd or none taperd, because i changed the driveshaft the other week so i was just wondering if that could make the whole wheel, brake caliper ect move when the car is jacked up, also it is not makeing the whirling noise a driveshaft would make, it makes like a screatching/whining noise when i turn the steering wheel, any addvise/tips will be welcome :) thanks :y:

   If it all moves, hub as well, then bottom wishbone... But if the mot'er says wheel bearing then do the wheel bearing take it back get your ticket then go from there...
