Hi , I have not long had my front brakes and rotors changed and since then I have a bearing sound slowly come on from 60 klm to 110 , after that the road noise takes over . When I did the brakes I also change the lower control arms as the bushes were flogged out . I have also replaced the r/h wheel bearing with no change to the sound . The car has only traveled 125k Any Idea's any body , it was a lovely quiet car before.... cheers gunna[bigsad]

Tyres, especially the long lasting 4wd drive type get hard over time and become noisy, trying moving them front to back. I've also had a front diff noise which ended up needing re-surfacing IIRC.

Did you get it wheel aligned when you did the LCA..? If so was it put into TTM when they did..

Im assuming from your post this all started when you did the brakes plus the LCA..

Cheers Bulletman

Sounds like bearings since you didn't mention them being replaced and 125k is about right for their age limit.
