Default Please help!,,,..somethin wrong with me SCOOB!

Its just started making some worrying noises which has made me park it back up on me drive and go into a panic!Its been fine all day and i just took it out 10 mins ago and there was a noise which i'm not sure if its coming from the back passenger side or the front!No, scratch that,i think its the front.to describe the noise what happens every so often (but too often)its as if i'm going over some rumble strips on the road.And i can kinda feel the vibration in the steering wheel,....my wheels aint loose and ive still got all my bolts in,..but its got to be sorted quick style!

please help,i dont like not being able to drive the scoob and now ive gotta take out the poxy pug!

thanks in advance!

I suggest you take it for a steady run and see if you can pin point the sound. Take someone along who can hang out of the window

I had a coach bolt get lodged in my old scoobs front passenger side trye. Was fine at low speeds, but get over 50 and there was an awful ticky/thudy sound.

I'd check...

CV boots/joints
wheel bearings
any play in the wheels when jacked up
trye surfaces for bulges
wheel balancing/missing weights
....and foreign objects embedded in the trye
