Hi All

I know nothing and I'm trying to keep a SJ413 alive. The rear passenger wheel seems to be making a rubbing/grinding noice and I've just noticed a fluid on the inside of the tyre. Any ideas please.

That would be your wheel bearing gone then matey, the fluid is axle/diff oil coming out where the oil seal has failed.

Its about a 30min job to do.

Thanks for that, how bad is it? Can I drive it to the garage as I have no tools and any idea what sort of price I'd be looking at?

yeah you can drive it to the garage, just dont drive fast it wont take longer than an hour so dont let them chrge you more than that labour and it's usually £25/30 for a bearing kit. depending on your sj they might need to bleed the brakes as well because with some of them you need to disconnect the rear brake lines from the drum.

where are you from? there might be someone on here near you that could help!
