droning whining noise

[Mike-VTR]

right this is my third thread about this fucking noise and its really getting on my tits,

basicly im getting a loud low pitch whining noise coming front the front of the car / wheels ect.

i only get the noise when coasting or without any pedal pressure, and its itermitent (spell)

say im in third and need to slow, take my foot of the throttle and it gets going then i put my foot back down and it goes away.

or say i put it in to netrual going down a hill it starts.

i get it in all gears and netrual and at all speeds.

ive taken it to a garage, there drove round with me and 2 garages had know idea wtf it is.

its not the gear box as its not coming from that direction, it sounds to me as if its coming from the drivers cv joint.


anyone got any ideas or is this going to be another thread that gets fuck all replies.

Are the CV boots leaking???? Check them, the shafts themselves and the the wheelbearings on both sides, its where i would start anyways

[Mike-VTR]

both boots seem fine alough i notice the drivers one has a small pin hole but has loads of grease by the look of it

[Mike-VTR]

anymore imput

[Dan-Subtlem]

sounds like clutch release bearing.

[rey]

cv joint or wheel bearing sounds like mike, could be linked to the squeek aswell bud

[Mike-VTR]

cheers for the imput

im probly just going to replace the dampers and cv joints and go from there.

edit: dan if its the clutch release bearing would it still make a noise when in gear and when in netrual.

also found loads of threads like this one, http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43930

seems this noise is common and almost certainly is the cv joints

anyone know where i can get brand new cv joints on tinternet, tried epay and google already.

Try AEP dude

Make sure you get the right driveshafts to suit your wheel bearings. You can get square and tapered ends on shafts where they fit to bearings. Mines a T reg and its got tapered, though it seems to be pretty random!

i had this mate exactly how you explained and it was my drivers side wheel bearing so i replaced both sides at the same time and no more noise....

[one_nation04]

would be better off getting the whole shaft mate imo, alot easier to fit then

[Mike-VTR]

ok so ill start with changing the wheel bearings and then if its still happening do the cv joints

cheers dudes

[Mike-VTR]

does anyone know if/where i can buy cv joints on there own without buying an entire shaft
