strange wuuuuring from i think the front!

[andrewrobert87]

Ive got quite a loud huming / wuring whike driving and when im breaking i can feel something through the pedals?

Whike breaking it sounds kinda like a washing machine slowing down from a spin :-\

 

[aucky]

Sounds like a wheel bearing

 

[andrewrobert87]

How would i check? Jack up and spin wheel isit?

yep or grab the wheel at 12 and 6 and give it a wiggle and check for play... mine was stupidly bad when the front bearing went

Check the wear on the inside of your tyres too. Could be distorted. It'll feel all lumpy if they are.

Sounds like something is braked.

It deff gets worse as you drive and it stays the same while in neutral. But its loudest and most noticable when breaking. ill have to check the wheels tomrrow. I hope it lasts till thr 28th :-( need pay day lol

Dude it's braking. Thought my clue would be suttle enough.

Surely if it does it in neutral when stationary it's got to be engine/gearbox?

Think he means neutral as in coasting. Sounds like a wheel bearing to me.

sorry ye, coasting, standstill is silent from the wheels etc. I took the wheel centre covers off just now and could see some grey grease on the nut.

is it worth changeing both bearings when one goes? how much am i talking ?

This might be really stupid but..... Can you buy disks with the bearings pressed into them? Both of my rear wheel bearings are going and I need new rear disks....

 

[DrR]

Yeah, just buy the standard genuine ones, easiest way IMO.
