Yeah, I have a 'lub lub lub' noise under slower speed cornering (eg: spinning round in a cul-de-sac) which I am suspecting to be a poor tyre. Knowing the front suspensions is basically brand new, it's either tracking (yet to get this checked) or tyre.

Does it come and go with cornering? If so, the unloaded wheel when cornering is at fault.

It gets louder at speed?

Didn't you hear mine?

[chrisgixer]

Honestly, no.

Or at least I didn't here what mines going when driving yours.

Pull away nothing

10mph nothing

20mph nothing

30mph noth.... Oh what's that.... woom   woom   woom (bollards it's still there)

35mph woom woom woom

40mph woomwoomwoom

50mph womwomwomwom

Etc

Turn left and it gets slightly quieter.

Yep. That reminds me of last summer's wheel bearing issue 

Try driving at 80mph down the motorway for an hour and if the noise hasn't driven you to feel like actually getting out of the car while it's still moving then the wheel bearing isn't quite toast yet! 

[chrisgixer]

It's not too bad at 80 so yes I still trust it

[Lazydocker]

Sounds like n/s wheel bearing. Oh... And mine was fixed before the holiday.

Rear bearings rarely fail with play, just noise. Mine had gotten to the point you couldn't talk normally when travelling at any speed greater than about 40

P.S. I'll have a listen on Saturday if you like?

[chrisgixer]

Oh that's ok then, thanks Ld I feel much more reassured as it's nowhere near that loud yet


And yes that would be good thank you
