Hi,

At precisly 70mph + i seem to get a sudden increased road noise, like a rumble, the wheel wobbles a little bit and does so a bit more when you get faster, but i gues your average user wouldnt care about it, but i can tell something isnt quite right.

Ive had the wheels balaned and it made no difference, could this be the sympton of a duff bearing(s). How do i check again? Jack up and wiggle at 3:15 and 12:30?

Cheers.

I had the balancing done and it didnt make a difference, it brakes in a straight line.

Theres nout wrong with the tacking either car accelerates in staright line too.
