ok - so not the wheel bearing.. ??

[expatscot]

Replaced one rear wheel bearing a couple of months ago... all fine.

Recently been hearing same sort of hum/whine as you get when wheel bearing going.. so jacked up all corners and yanked/shoogled on the wheels. There is NO give at all... they are all solid.

So what else can give same sort of low drone?

Tyre noise?

 

[e3silversurfer]

did you check all wheel bearings?? or just the one which you replaced??

 

[expatscot]

no checked them all - did the 3 that werent yet replaced first, and then just incase, checked the new one.

no give, or play in any of them.

Check your tyres for uneven radial wear. Run your hands round radially and see if it goes up and down. Swap wheels front to back if possible.

That's what Cherie's Millie's low droning noise turned out to be after we eliminated wheel bearings / driveshafts etc.

Well it's a shitty miserable, grey day out there.... but will rotate/change round the wheels.

Trolley jack and axle stand set was best money spent in recent months... be done in no time. See if that helps at all. Driving to Southampton this afternoon.... so see how it is then.

I had all 4 of mine replaced and also getting a very very faint hum from the back. I'm not sure whether it is the cheapo bearings or the tyres as described above.
