well i can only say get it checked out as soon as, because ive just had my 03 sti in for a front bearing and because it was un-noticed for a while its eaten into the hub aswell which means an extra £90 quid for a new one

one garage said it's tyre noise,but i think its def a bearing.

mine showed no sign until it took the ABS sensor out... Also check the tyres are not out of shape.. they can cause droaning just like a failing bearing...

it's a bad droning noise, no-one else can seem to hear it!! annoying..will check tyres thanks dude.

I had NSR go on my 03STi goosed the hub as well. Nice guys at SC found me a s/h hub to reduce cost. When it was going it made a rythmic woowoowoo sort of noise, thought it was tyre noise for 6 months ! doh. You need someone to put it on a ramp and listen round with a stethoscope. I'm sure Scoobyclinic would do this for you if you are near them.
