drone/humming noise
#1
Hi guys, getting a drone/ hum coming from the front of my HDI whenever i reach at 40/50mph, then the road noise kinda drowns it out, i do all motorway miles and its really annoying lol.

i think its coming from the left side but not 100% sure and im assuming its not engine related as it only comes on at speed.

any ideas?

check your tyre pressures first but could be wheel bearing. jack it up a corner at a time and turn the wheel and listen/feel for grinding

Id be inclined to agree. My work van did the same thing not long ago, and im pretty sure they changed the wheel bearing to solve it. Smile
