Strange Noise from front at speed
I know there is very little conclusive advice anyone can give, but at 20-40mph, there is a wiered whining noise, quite loud, from the front drivers side externally. It's not reve related at it doesn't do when reving at a standstill (rules out alternator..pheww)
Its a bit like the old style kettle whissle but slightly lower pitch, adn started 50m ago last night on the way back from nottingham.
I jacked it up very breifly on my lunch break and apart from a splattering of oil round the bay and driveshaft, it all seems ok, pads OK, discs on secure, wheels are on tight.
I tried to shift the wheel and there seemed to be no play and spins freely so bearing is prob ok?
Any ideas before i give it a proper look over tomorrow. Could better spend the time on my project (due to oil leak i mentioned)
Cheers,
Kristian
