Re: Droning noise coming from wheel when moving
Rear bearing, unless you are sure which one it is, then it's worth changing both. This is the bearings I've bought in the past, just need pressing into the rear disk.

I'm fitting a new one on the O/S rear tomorrow as I torqued it up incorrectly, and it's shagged again. If left too long the wheel can pretty much fall off. it happened to f0xy on his 1.2, wheel only stayed on because it was so low, and the wheel was held in by the wing. Relatively simple job, just need a big enough socket for the hub nut. 30 or 32mm I think.

Re: Droning noise coming from wheel when moving
You don't want to leave it too long, or it'll end up like this. Vid from yesterday when changing the rear disks. Pretty worrying realising it was that bad.

Re: Droning noise coming from wheel when moving
I'm no expert, pretty f**king far from it in fact. But when I bought my car I had a droning noise coming from the rear which I thought might be the bearings. It actually turned out to be the cheap tyres that had worn unevenly which was the cause
of the noise. 2 new tyres (decent ones I hasten to add) and problem sorted. Although it would have new a lot cheaper had it of been the bearings!!

Re: Droning noise coming from wheel when moving
Luckily my cousin has a tyre business so it didn't sting as much as it could have. When he jacked the car up you could see where certain bits of the tyre face were worn more than other bits (could see where dirt had stuck to the bits that were actually making contact with road) like I say would have been cheaper had it been the bearings but it's nice to have new boots all round now.

Re: Droning noise coming from wheel when moving
I've had the same thing and it turned out to be the tyres too. Is the noise still there if you put the clutch in?

Re: Droning noise coming from wheel when moving
What does it mean if the noise is still there after the clutch is in? Reason I ask is that I jacked up the car and there was no wobble in the wheels. Though my noise isn't that loud or overpowering and hasn't long started.

Re: Droning noise coming from wheel when moving
do the wheels not turn with the clutch in then? lol if it was either a bearing or tyres it would still make a noise clutch in or not, just when the cars moving..

Re: Droning noise coming from wheel when moving
That's exactly when I decided to change mine, slowing at lights you could hear a 'creaking' noise from the rear.

Re: Droning noise coming from wheel when moving
Ever find the cause of this?
Mine is making a droning noise too, start hearing it about 40mph. Thought it was the exhaust at fist but just resealed it all and it's still there. Starting to think it's the bearings but won't be able to get the car to the garage until Monday now.

Re: Droning noise coming from wheel when moving
Calipers all tight? Remember f0xy's working itself loose at Cadwell. Have you given the rear wheels a good wobbl/spin with the car in the air (and the handbrake off obviously).

Re: Droning noise coming from wheel when moving
When I phoned to book it in he suggested it was the wheel bearing from my description. Took it in and they done quick road test and confirmed the noise was coming from the front. He then got one of the guys to jack it up to check, missed what he done to test though as I was inside in the warm lol.
Guess it all comes down to experience at the end of the day...
