Technical Front wheel bearings.

[TR6man42]

I have a rumbling sound coming from the front of my 500 1.2 Lounge, which sounds as if it might be a wheel bearing? Any other owner had this, is this a common problem with Fiat 500 hatchback? Mileage so far is 36,000 and it's out of warranty, naturally!

Brake pads seized in the reaction frames, I'd put money on it

CV joints perhaps ?

CV joints perhaps ?

Like I said, brake pads. CV joints are distinctive and can sound like bearings, CV joints don't sound like bearings going.

Two minutes on a hoist should offer a definitive answer.
