Hello guys, got a problem with my 306 1.4 meridian phase 3 (not the GTi ) well, I recently realised as i was doing 40 mph, I felt the car pulling back, well Sunday I noticed a noise coming from the rear passenger side is I drove, it felt like something was scrapping on floor, also I felt a noise as I drove through the country lanes like a high screeching, so I got out and pulled the passenger rear wheel back and forth and it had play, the driver side is not as bad, well today I took the wheel off and moved the drum and it has play I tried to see if the hub nut was lose but it seems ok, could this be the wheel bearing, and also what other ways could I tell if it has really gone thanks guys hope you can help

Thanks stan, I rolled wheel jacked in air and it's rumbling to so me thinks it is, but guys as mine has drums will it be the drum that needs replacing to, as I seen some drums for the 306 phase 3 with a bearing on the drum, also the drum to come off is a right pain, I taken off the hub nut the drum seems loose but not realising, anyone got some advice thanks |

It will be the lip on the inside of drums holding them on.usaully gentle tapping with a hammer working around the drum while pulling drum with other hand will release it.bearings usaully require the seat knocking out of the drum, get a new bearing kit and you will see what you need to knock out.  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

Hello guys, me again, just want to ask a few questions so I could source the right bearing .1. Is there a inner and outer rear wheel bearing on a 306 1.4 ( it has drums in the rear) 2. With my wheel having play and drum having play would this be a Hub bearing ? 3.to remove drum and loosen the shoes could I ajust this from handbrake cable as I find it difficult to do it through the spindle nut inside the drum? Thanks guys I know it's not a GTI OR RALLYE but you guys know your 306's so you are the guys to ask thanks |

Bearings come in a kit, you get inner and outer.handbrake cable should not release the shoes unless its been adjusted wrong by a prev owner, try slackening it though. ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |
