Have a my05 sti and at high speed approx 110 -120mph ( trackday's) you hear what sounds like a wheel bearing droan but only heard at those sort of speeds , if windy may hear at 100mph . Now i would have thought that a wheel bearing would normally start to be heard from about 30 40 mph has anybody hear anything similar as i've thought may be the wind going thru the rear spoiler ?. Have changed wheels and tyres but noise still there , also on a quickish start have heard a clunk from the rear end , when the car is on a lift have seen the rear prop has a line around it where it has rubbed against the joint sealer on the tunnel , again is this normal as it appears when the axle tilts up on acceleration the bushs are flexing and the prop hits the body . Car is still in warranty , how do you explain to the dealer that you think a rear wheel bearing is gone but can only hear it over 100mph as their not able to test it at that speed, or do you have to wait until it gets worse which will end up being when the warranty is out !!

i would make sure i broke it before the warranty run out.

Could be a Rear Diff. bearing on its way out- if it's under Warranty
get it sorted or at least report it while the Warranty is still valid.
I used to have a similar Droning noise in the car - but dont let the
MISSIS in the car any more !!!!!

As soon as you say to the dealer you can hear it at 110 120mph , there going to say tough ! as the warranty does'nt cover trackday use . Any ideas ?

Just tell them you travel a lot to Germany in connection with your job,
and the "Drone" is worrying on the Autobahn !!
