Droning noise when driving
Posted: Sun May 19, 2013 10:58 am
Hi folks,
Ive got a 96 Corsa 1.2 with 52k on the clock.
Recently when doing a 400 mile round trip a droning noise appeared from nowhere. It gets noticeable from about 30mph onwards and happens if the car is in gear or freewheeling so Im assuming its a wheel bearing? Im going to jack it up and see if theres any obvious play etc but if it is the bearing is it OK/safe to drive on until I get a new one? Thanks,
Andy
