strange drone....

[vdubnut]

Getting an odd droning noise coming from the car @ about 60 mph plus....thought was exhaust but had this checked and its fine....wheres next to check....(wondered wheel bearing?) had the rears and the front right done recently but jacked up front left and no wheel wiggle when jacked up?

Any help appriciated!!

Check the rears, might need re-adjusting now they have settled

Does the drone go when you depress the clutch?

As I've discovered, the wheel won't necessarily wiggle if the bearing's shot.

It could be that you have worn hubs... like me!

Check out my video on vimeo to see if the noise is similar.

AudiA8Quattro : no change when depress clutch....will check the rears again....sounds a little like the vid clip but nowhere near as bad.....upto about 50mph seems pretty quiet?

Raise car on ramp and drive it up to 60, listen to hub with a long screwdriver.
