Peugeot 106 1995 1.5D 77k miles, making a classic "bearing on the way out" humming noise above about 30mph. Only it's not a bearing as I've changed all four and it's still doing it. Wondering now about the drive shafts. Have checked for wear and no obvious signs of it but the offside is losing plenty grease from the outer CV boot and the nearside just a tiny smidge. Offside outer boot also perished but not split. Now obviously these things need attending to anyway, but my immediate question is, could a CV joint be making the "worn bearing" noise either because it's lost all its grease or because it's starting to wear (and yes I know that the latter will rapidly follow the former).
