Hi peeps,
Been having an issue with my car (2015 1.4 leon fr, has around 43k miles) for a bit now with noise. It's what sounds like a wheel bearing is on it's way out. Before it only showed up at fast speeds and found out my back driver wheel would moved in and out, its bearing was gone and the bolt was actually bent. That one was replaced and noise was gone but after maybe 1 week I started hearing it again, showed up at over 60mph and only came after maybe 20mins of driving, that was a few months back and it has now started showing up just under 60 and I can hear it from the very start of my drive (anything under 55 and I don't really hear anything). Some times on a straight it'll be a constant moaning noise, sometimes it's there for a second, gone a second, back for a second and so on. Its louder on right bends which would say it's to do with the LHS.
All the tyres have been replaced and all are round (no 50p) and ive moved alloys about but it doesn't seem to follow, so I've ruled these out. Standard 18" alloys.
I'm tempted just to replaced both front bearings and back passenger. Since the back driver was so bad, maybe the rest are the same.
I've got 2 front and 1 rear good to go but don't want to cash out if I dont need too. I've taken wheels and discs off to check them and confirmed they're the correct ones.
Thank you for any help
