70 mph Rumble

My car has developed this noise and is getting worse. Had FK Automotive coilover fitted a while back and not sure if the lowered front is the cause.

My car is N reg 16v with 74k on the clock. Havent changed the front wheel bearings so that could be a cause. Wondering if driveshafts could be cause as more strain put on through lowering.

Cant be engine related as it is at the same speed and not RPM.

Anyone else had this or know what it may be ???

push the clutch in and see if still makes the noise, if so i would say its the wheel bearing, just had mine done looking at about £40 buff

does it stop when you turn left of right?

If so, its a wheel bearing........probably lol

Yeah just come back from 140 mile round trip to get some Bridgestone S02s fitted on the rear and that place said probably wheel bearing. Noise is driving me mad now so gonna get sorted ASAP.

Nearly got the fronts done when I had it lowered. Wish I had now !!!!

Thanks for the advice every1.
