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
