Thanks Peter . I had overlooked that section, I will check the universal
joint bearings .
I did put all 4 wheels on the stands and 'ran' the car ,oddly the noise is
not there when on the stands;on the road it starts around 30Kph and stays at
the same pitch and level .It does sound like the gritty bad wheel bearings
which I had replaced.
regards
mak

The universal joint can go bad in those cars, it's user replaceable, I
think, held in place with circlips. they can grind when dry.
Diff noises change with load and speed -- a steady "tram car" sound
that changes pitch with speed unrelated to engine speed is likely a
diff noise, it will appear to be loudest in the front of the
trunk/center of the rear seat area.
