Humming noise whilst driving Clio mk 3

[Dennisb]

Humming noise whilst driving noise does not change when turning, I've changed B/S / R wheel bearings checked front bearings no excess play just wondering if it could be the O/S drive shaft support bearing any ideas would be appreciated

Sometimes the play is that small that you can't see it, needs checked with run out/dti gauge, I had same issue on my megane, it was the front wheel bearings with zero play

I did not mention I have jacked up the front of the car one side at a time and run the engine while in gear and could not hear the humming noise which leads me to think it could be the drive shaft support bearing

I have also had noisy bearings with no play. Hold the spring whilst spinning the wheel to check for vibration. Also older/worn tyres get noisy

Thanks Brigsy
I will give that a try also the tyre idea is a possibility
