help needed - wheel bearing??

[ub11803]

anyone in york area know anything about noise from wheel bearings? think mine going, so loud in car at 50mph, so need that 2nd opinion.

Is there a constant buzzing that changes pitch with speed?

If its that loud why would you need a 2nd opinion?!?!

soon as u hit 50 , u hear a lot of noise, i thought it was tyres but they bn replaced and its still there, past mot 2 wks ago and KTec disks with bearings fitted put on last summer. i aint no mechanic and dont want to waste money buying something i dont need!!

go in a striaght line and turn left, then right if the noise disappears when you turn in one direction it'll be a bearing

like fed said, or jack the car up and spin the wheels by hand, you will soon know which bearing it will be.

i'll give it a go in morning and c what happens

 

[ub11803]

im guessing they'd be checked for a MOT, it was happening then but as i needed 2 rear tyres so i was hoping it be the worn tryes

Just make sure don't press new bearings into old discs
