funny noise

[The Mighty Elvi]

right,

recently changed the suspension and wheels on the valver, now I get a funny noise that sounds similar to the exhaust rhumble you hear if you remove the sound proofing.  gets louder the fatser I go as well.

Funny thing is that it remains when it turn right, but when i turn left, even just one degree on the wheel, it goes away? 

Nothing is rubbing.  and my drivers side CV boot is split,  I thought it might be wheel alignment, but a noise from that would happen all the time.  Wheels are ballanced as well.

any ideas?

Wheel bearing.

Which side?

If it stops when you turn left it's the front drivers side.

Did you lower the car? It could be the exhaust touching the rear beam where it goes over it. As you turn one way, it may swing clear. If this is the case, re-align your exhaust and replace the mounting rubbers.

That's what I initially thought.  The car is a lot lower than before.  I thought that maybee one of the rubbers had gone.  It does seem a bit of a coincidence that the noise appeared when I changed the suspension.

I'll have a look.  Thanks DPB

No worries. That is what happened to my car anyway.

If it stops when you turn left, its the passenger side.

No it isn't. When a wheel bearing is knackered it rumbles till you put load on it, so buy turning left your putting the weight on the oposite / right hand side. I know this because i've just changed one on mine that was completely mullared and thats what i found out.

[Ben Lessani]

Yes, it is. It rumbles until the load is lifted off it. When you load up a failing bearing, it makes noise, not the other way round.

Obviously the fact yours is fixed after recent bearing change was pure luck or something else.

That aside, I don't think a wheel bearing noise is what the OP was talking about.
