hello saxp'ers

right now then the problems i have had are:
was going along the motorway and the car started buzzing like a dull humm which i could feel through the floor when i come to a slow the wheel squeaks like : squeak ... squeak .... squeak etc

i am thinking maybe wheel bearing? as it doesnt get worse when i turn or knock like a driveshaft! and does not get worse when i put my foot down just when i am slowing/lift off

help me please and with rought prices!

thanks

Had both my front wheel bearings go at the same time ! Only on a saxo eh lol

But a humming does show a wheel bearing. If you ever hear it again just jack the car up and hold the wheel and give it a shake if thier is any play like it wobbles or anything chances are the bearings gone ;)
