Hello!
I have a JTD 1,9 115hp 2003 Stilo. A few weeks ago I had a minor accident (icy road, ended up in a ditch). After that the car needed an alignment (the biggest impact was on the front-left side of the car). So before the alignment there was a very annoying noise, kind of tyre roll noise but I thought that it would go away after the alignment, but it did not.
The noise starts from 60 km/h and it increases and decreases on intensity until 91-92 km/h where it gets very intense (the trims of the cabin, specially on the back vibrate and do that plastic "cracking" noise a lot). Then over 93 km/h it completely disappears. I drove until 190 km/h and no noise or vibration at all.
Also this vibration cannot be felt on the wheel, but on the body.
It makes no difference if i'm accelerating, braking, turning or if there is a gear engaged or the engine is idling.
I thought it could be some wheel bearing but normally that noise increases with speed and doesn't suddenly disappear, or does it?
It's very hard to explain what kind of noise it is (I tried to get it on video but it didn't work), but at 92 km/h I can actually feel my ear drums vibrating along with the car!
Sorry for the long text and hope you have some clues for me!
Thanks and greetings from the Arctic Circle!
