I had the shocks done last week, it included a good balancing and alignment.
I'm pretty sure the whirring snow tire type sound it is making has to be bearings.
It is just one of those cases where there isn't really any discernable play if you try to shake the wheel
Fucking should have started there as it is the cheapest part. But the tires were going bald quite suddenly, the noise started the minute I drove out on the new tires.
Then I replaced the shocks and mounts as they also were quite old and worn.The vibration was carrying up the shocks and at certain speeds, the whole car resonates.
I listened to a few youtube clips of worn bearings now, and they sound pretty much like what I am hearing. I'm just glad they didn't explode and come off with the wheel while we were driving out in the sticks this weekend.
I don't mind having new shocks and tires, the car stops nicely without any nose dive now, it is subtle on a light car, but you feel it. But I mean, bearings can fucking kill you.
anyhow, just fed the girls some fresh fertiliser mix, and have an appointment for the car in an hour.
