Hey, over a month ago my car started a sort of droneing sound from the rear (sounds like wind in a tunnel), its been at kwik fit all day an they said after driving it its wheel bearing but then after checking play in the wheels there dont seem to be any so now they think it might be the diff but thats as far as they go. It sounds worse at 50/60 mph then 70/80. Anybody got any ideas or no where i can take it to be looked at that dont really charge for looking?

Cheers

hi, have you checked your condition of your tyres? ie pressures, tread depth, sometimes a tyre can wear funny across the tread causing a rumble/ Drumming sound.

Hi dean, i fitted yokohama paradas to the rear 4 months ago an last month did the same to the front, that night after doing the front i hit a bad pot hole so have always falt that is the cause an around about then is when i started noticing the droneing sound, i did notice few days after fitting the paradas that the tyre walls were wearing down a bit already. Could it be it just needs tracking?

hi,

go to a car park, put car on ful and drive forward/backwards on both locks. If the sound changes note or becomes worse then poss diff u/s and buy a temp surface temp tester and take car for a run.test the surface were the bearing fits if it is a bearing then one will be warm and the or would be cooking
