No, but I had an intermediate bearing on the long drive shaft fail on my 205 and it wasn't as loud as you'd think, just a very annoying razzing sound. Looked like this when it came off... ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

I took the car for alignment the other day, got told one of the (brand new) front wheel bearings had collapsed and got the old "I shouldnt let you drive home on this mate" speech - wasnt making any noise, wqas just a bit wobbly at the front end, almost like a dodgy driveshaft. ________________________________________ Lots of Nissans, two 306 GTI-6's.

Driveshaft won't give a wobbly feeling  If your wheel bearing is bad enough to make the car wobbly you really are risking it driving! ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |
