Unhappy problem with my palio, best service centerin NCR

Hi everyone,

I own Fiat Palio 1.2L petrol 2003 model.. crossed 70K mark i belong to Delhi, India
from past 1 month or so, my car is making peculiar noise & there is heavyness feeling around the wheels when car speed goes above 60 KM/Hr.
the noise remain constant moment it touches & goes beyond the mentioned speed. Also i dont feel that much torque & power in the car....
I am assuming there could be problem related to wheel bearings... but i m not sure... please help me out.

And also let me know best service center around NCR area... as i m not confident with TATA service center...(had 2 services... worst experience )
i have heard that there is fiat service center in patparganj, delhi... can any1 tell me, is it worth going there & r parts readily available there... or any other service center any1 can recommend.....

Thanks in advance

It may be a wheel bearing, but Palio's often suffer from tire "cupping" (sawtooth profile) making almost the same noise like a worn bearing.
Try moving the front wheels to the rear and vice versa, and hear if the noise goes away.
To prevent cupping, move the wheels front to rear etc. every 10.000km, and have a high(er) tire pressure, then Fiat says.
