Wheel bearing or gearbox dif ?
 
No wheel wobble or very noticeable grinding when rotating , and hubs dont heat up after 10 mile run

very small day on day build up of humming coming from front and with speed

You can deflect / lessen the noise by incremental adjustment of steering wheel around straight ahead position

preying its hub

High miles ?


Usually a wheel bearing noise is more noticeable whilst turning, (on aroundabout, tight bend).

If small increments of steering in a straight line increase/decrease the noise i,d lean towards front diff.

maybe wait a while until it becomes more noticeable !!.

Hindustan Contessa...



Simple to fix though; Just moan more loudly about Brexit :thumb:

If the wheels fall off you can then stand at the side of the road and remonstrate it as a artistic interpretation of our economy under potential Corbyn rule :razz:

Citroen xsara,

those Continental would know

Right!!, you can probably buy another car for price it will cost to fix.

Just bin it or p/x for other car. problem solved.

Not worth troubling over, with the price of runabouts at the moment.

Jack up and spin each wheel and listen. :idea:
