Title: Increased road noise
Post by: stealthwolf on March 13, 2009, 06:40:09 pm

No problems until today. Have been driving the car hard (well not slowing down round corners and bends) recently and I noticed today I've been getting more road noise than usual. Think it's coming from the front.

Bit of an arse since I have to drive up to Brum this weekend.

any ideas?

I want to check tyre pressures but since just got home about twenty mins ago, will have to wait until the tyres have cooled down to check the pressures.

I had a droning noise start on mine a year ago. Sounded like it was coming from the front of the car but turned out to be a rear wheel bearing. It drove me mad in the end and was very relieved when it was diagnosed and fixed:)

Lol well it's not the tyre pressures. Had no problems on the motorway last night and I was cornering hard.

I had the tracking done a few weeks back by kwikfit but I'd been on a motorway journey before and there was no issue.

I'll put it down to crap roads.

BTW: M27 - have they resurfaced the motorway or something? There were strips of motorway where it was so smooth, it was like driving on soft rubber or something.
