Yeah noise only starts when i get over 40mph, so will it be wheel bearing?

Post by: adamf on July 07, 2011, 11:24:52 pm: that would be my first port of call. all you need to do now is suss out which wheel it is coming from... or jack up each corner and give each wheel a wobble to see if they move at all. they should be tight so if one rocks a little thats your culprit :happy2:

let us know how you get on..
