Gen6GT Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 On a trip down to Pompey yesterday I noticed a humming sound which increased with speed from around 30mph up to around 70mph, then seemed to stop. Decelerating the hum started again. In my earlier days it generally signified a failing wheel bearing, so when I got back I jacked the car up and checked the wheel/hub by slightly twisting it (which was how I used to check the older cars I had years ago) but there was no discernable play, No knocking on turning,so I guess it's not a CV joint problem and the hum is still there when turning left or right at speed. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Sounds to me like it probably is a wheel bearing ... sometimes you won't get movement in the wheel if it's just starting to get dodgy. Try spinning the wheels on either side of the axle and see if you notice a difference in sound. Again, could be a CV that's not totally shagged to the point of knocking yet. In other words, same as you already know. Angus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
