1.4 - Noise - Gearbox Bearings or Wheel Bearings?
#3
So lets start with the basics here. First the "stiff side" shouldn't be stiff. Id be checking your brake isn't partially siezed and making funny noises so pop the calliper off and spin it to see if its free and check pads move freely.

Next you want to know wheel bearing noise or gearbox. (if noise hasn't already gone) you cant jack up and drive it if you think it may be the gearbox still gonna make the noise. So drive down the road find a long sweeping bend where you maintain speed and as you go round the bend the at the same speed the pitch of the noise will change as the wheel bearing gets loaded up differently. If it doesn't then gearbox would be a safe bet. Also while you're at it please check the rears noise travels. Jack up and spin.

All this is achievable in less than half hour so nice and quick as well.
