i have a worrying noise...
« on: July 18, 2010, 08:44:13 pm »
When accelerating this noise gets louder, its like a exhaust note but sounds like its coming from a wheel, as its a spinning noise, this its coming just from one rear wheel? What could it be? All I can think is wheel bearings maybe? How expensive is that?

Definitely sounds like bearing does that. Can't give you an idea on price but I've replaced bearings on two other motors and I can't remember how much it was, which means it must have been pretty cheap! Try driving with the radio off and for some serving on a quiet road. If its a bearing it should become more noticeable on either the left or right turns depending which side is shot.

Only other thing I can think of would be something stuck behind the dust guard behind the disc but if its a humming sort of noise I'd still say bearing.

Hope you sort it anyway mate.
