Carl160180 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 As above, Either wheel bearing or gearbox bearing's. Does it go louder/quieter if you turn a corner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majorj0nny Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 jack each corner up in turn and free spin the wheels to see if you can replicate the noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIDZ Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 u can buy the kit for 1 wheel for bout 15 quid but if ur doing it yourself then find out the torque required on the nut, as i did my last one and it was done to tight, so it only lasted bout 4 months before the b*stard started huming again.easyish to do though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
