Title: wheel bearing type noise ??
Post by: colin s on 04 August 2010, 18:18:00

hi, i have a 2001 omega,2.2dti,cdx, with what at least half a dozen people agree a front wheel bearing noise ?, so i sent it to the garage and they put on a new wheel bearing kit, and exactly the same noise ?, so they then changed the opposite wheel bearing too but still there ?, then they checked the drive shafts/prop shaft, rotated the tyres and its still there ?, any ideas please.
       thanks

Hope someone helps m8.I have the same problem,definately sounds like a wheel bearing,but I have had all four corners up checking for play in bearing or a noise when I spin the wheel,but there is nothing!
Doing my head in now,been like this for a few months.I have heard rear wheel bearings are a nightmare,so I am not changing any of them untill I am sure!

Front wheel baring noise, so why check drive shafts?

When did this start?

What tyres? Are they the same all round?

Is the wish bone bush failed to the the point the wishbone is rubbing on the subframe, ESP the rear most one.

Is the inside edge of the tyre rubbing on the shock?

What wheel barings fitted?

I have a rumle on mine, nothing wrong with the wheel bearings,  after looking at the tread formation I put the noise purely down to the tryes.
