when turning right or coasting theres a rumble coming from the front. I changed the nsf bearing as I was told this was the problem, I've fitted 3 sets in the last week all pressed in, still no difference. I fitted new drive shafts back in July (not recon but new). Since fitting the the bearings i now have a constant squeaking noise more pronounced under braking. Any advice would be appreciated.

do you know the difference between tapered and non-tapered driveshafts you have to put the correct one in your car or it will chew a wheel bearing quite quickly.

that is the diference. there is a groove in the wheel hub for the tapered part to 'sit' against so the surface of the shaft is in contact with the surface of the hub.. probably all gobldeygoop if you havent seen it for yourself.
take it apart and have a look. theres a few threads on how to do it

I checked that link or similar when I changed the driveshafts and bearings earlier on this year :y:
