darren garbett Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Just a quick one noticed last week or too dull rumbling noise coming from the front end , doesn't seem to get any louder when you load either front wheel when cornering ,just a constant dull rumbling noise above 40 mph ,wheel bearing ? drive shaft? or god forbid front differential. any one had issues with the front wheel bearings or drives shatfs etc. Its booked in garage 1st friday of .new year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 More than likely 1 or more tyres tread are abnormally worn . This can create a sound like a droning wheel bearing. Sometimes you can feel the irregular tread with the palm of your hand rubbing over the tread . Smooth in one direction and rough in the other direction.

darren garbett Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 turned out to be osf wheel bearing had a bit of play in it causing the rumbling noise , not so cheap to replace not much change out of £450 turns out the abs senor is part of the bearing assembly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
