Stanley Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 A few details may help mate.Does it happen when on a flat road?Does it happen when turning a particular way?Does its get worse as you increase your speed?Does it happen when stationary?Is your car standard?Have you had any work done on the car recently?

NIKH25 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 General idea of where it's coming from, front, rear, left, right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LStuart06 Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 its coming from the front of the car possibly the right it only happens when the car is moving and it gets louder the quicker I go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LStuart06 Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 i assumed it could be that but never had any noises or problems with wheel bearings from previous cars before so dont really know what a b****red bearing would sound like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 It's a rubbing/whining sound becoming a rumble as gets worse. Usually more apparent when you're turning to the side of the worn bearing, i.e. if the nearside bearing is worn it will be louder when you are turning left.
