Is the noise only there when driving ? or can you hear it when stationary and engine revved ?
Posted Mar 30, 2011 (13 years ago)
only there when driving speed as low as ten mph no change on different surfaces

When you are driving and flick steering wheel to n/s ( passenger ) or vice versa , does the noise change ? Is the noise there at all speeds from 10 mph upwards ? Certain it's from front and not rear ?

Can understand garages attitude , if it came into my garage , then I would check work already carried out was done correctly .After that , I would jack up car and run the suspected side on jack / axle stand to hear noise and confirm that is the wheel its coming from .You can also then compare it against other " good " side .Not the first time I've had a noise that you would swear was coming from front but was coming from rear .You can also stick car on rolling road / brake tester and run wheels individually to here if noise there .Hope they find cause and its nothing major , Lets know how you get on ?

never thought to try the axle stands will give that a go see what that throws up, in the mean time thanks very much for the advice will get back to you.

Just be careful driving car off the deck on axle stand . Sometimes it dosen't show up fault as load is taken off wheel .All the best .
