Noobie Advice Needed
Hi,
Just wanted some advice really, probably more generic advice about wheel bearings than Yaris specific, unless there's something I'm not aware of. I have a '01 Yaris, it's of an age where things need replacing on a regular basis (which I understand!). In the last year I've had both front bearings replaced, and now after driving 200 miles on a motorway there's another very loud humming noise that's just appeared, starting at around 40mph and increasing noise all the way up to 70mph. The tyres needed replacing at the front anyway so I've just had those done today, as it couldn't possibly be more bearings! And it's still making a very loud humming/droning noise. Doesn't make a difference when turning, and I'll try the wheel grab test in the morning. Just wanted to know if anyone could suggest anything? Is there any precedence for bearings being faulty from new, or overheating on a long journey (the last bearing fail/noise started on another long trip a few months ago). Could it be anything else? Tracking, engine probs? Cheers! Ian |
