I am getting a dull humming sound from the back of the car. I thought it might be my wheel bearings but I am not sure how to check. My pads are a bit worn but not too extreme. Can anyone give me some advice. I don't want to buy bearings just for trial and error.

Cheers

Sounds like the wheel bearing to me mate .Disconnect your engine when moving to see if its still making a noise to see if it aint zorst I had to replace my wheel bearing recently cause i got the same kinda humming your talking about and it wasnt cheap as it had seized at the back which was a nightmare to get off, plus i had to get the wheel bearing and bushes from subaru which didnt help

Cheers for the reply mate. When I disconnect the engine it still makes the same noise. How much did it all cost you?

Gump

It was 219 quid for wheel bearing,bushes (which was from subaru) and labour,this was including the guys discount i got cause i knew him.If it is your wheel bearing m8 yours might be cheaper though as mine had seized and it was still the original parts on the car, and so they had a bit of bother getting it off.

How did you know you needed bushes too? I think its the original parts in mine as well. its only 4 years old. I take it its not a job you would recomend doing yourself?

Gump

Yours is younger than mine m8 so you probably wont have as much trouble as i had.I dont see why you couldnt do it yourself if you know what your doin.

J8ke

How do you know if the bushes need done or are they part of the wheel bearing kit?

Cheers
