Strange Noise



Hi,

Just noticed a strange noise coming from seemingly the rear of the 172,

Its a sort of droning noise, it appears at around 40mph and it changes pitch when accelerating, it starts like wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum then as you speed up becomes wuuuuuum wuuuuuum wuuuuum wuuuum wuum wum wum wum

Any ideas what this could be?

Cheers
James

Sounds like it maybe the rear bearings, OEM rear brake discs come with the bearings pressed in so it maybe just a case of buying some new discs.
I ain't no pro though so I maybe wrong, sure another member will come up with more suggestions.
 
Yeah it could be wheel bearing I suppose, Im sure when you put the clutch in the noise remains - I will try to confirm this soon. I remember speaking to a motor factor about wheel bearings and they said that the wheel bearings are normal (ie press into the hub) and that they arent in the disk, im not sure who to trust as I read on here that they are included with the disks...
