  1. Hi guys - i have a loud rotational whining noise coming from one of my wheels when im driving at low speed in my R26. Could this be a wheel bearing?
     
  2. Could be, normally get worse as they get hot though
     
  3. Yeah it doesnt do it at first when its cold - but gets worse when running for a while. How much on average is to get a new one? And is it dangerous to drive with it?

  5. Is this just down to wear & rear? cos it had its MOT in the summer and nothing was wrong.
     
  6. Normal wear and tear
     
  7. ok,so i took it to a garage and he said all bearings etc are ok - he said the reason is the rear tyres,they have an uneven worn sufrace to them - does that lead to a metallic sounding whine??
     
  8. Its a sticking rear caliper.
