Azza Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hey all I had a little glancing blow with a wall a little while back, didn't do much visible damage (a few scratchs and a slight dent to the wing) but every since there has been a strange whuring noise when i drive it about 50mph. It's rhythmic in the sense it gets louder and quieter at a continous rate. I reckon its something to do with the drive shaft, i may have knocked it, but i don't know how this would cause this noise. Any ideas what could be the problem and how i could go about fixing it. Thanks Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz6076 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 It's rhythmic in the sense it gets louder and quieter at a continous rate. Do you mean that it goes in time with you're speed? Or mabye the revs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azza Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 It's in time with the speed, it's nothing to do with revs because the noise is the same even if i change gear and it only ever makes the noise above 50mph. It whures loudly and then quietly repeatitivly, it's louder at higher speeds than lower speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny87 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 when you hit the wall was is possible you hit the wheel? (might not be noticeable if only the tyre was hit) possible the wheel bearing took some strain and is on its way out, is the noise only coming from one corner of the car?

Azza Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Yh i hit the wheel, i had to repaint it (i had just put new alloys on!!) Yeah it sounds like it's coming from the side i hit. So really it has to be something to do with impact. You think it's the bearing? How much and how easy is that to replace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
