Rumbling sound from front

[kurtice]

The last couple of days I have noticed a loud, rumbling sort of noise coming from the front of the cabin/engine. At first I thought it might have been a hole somewhere along the exhaust causing the noise, but as it only happens when driving over 20 it didn't quite match up, so I'm absolutely clueless.

Any ideas???

Are you sure it isnt a wheel bearing?

When you drive it,steer it from left to right(swerve) does the noise change,if so wheel bearing.

Tried swerving and the sound more or less goes completely when steering to the left and says the same whilst turning right as it does in a straight line.

In guessing its a new wheel bearing job then

what would be the simptoms of a faulty wheel bearing?

A rumbling sound from front?.Plus if you jack the car up then grab the wheel top and bottom,there should be no movement when you pull and push,if there is then bearing has play in it.
