Hi lads,

Got a problem that started the other day

my car is making a deep wurring noise from the front of the car, it isnt the wheel bearings.

i jacked up each side and spun the wheels, both front wheels seem to be making it and it seems to be coming from the gearbox area.

sometimes i can feel it through the steering wheel and pedals

it goes away on left hand bends.

ive checked the gearbox oil and is all fine.

Please dont say it is the diff

could it be the inner cv joints? but would they both go at the same time?

many thanks for any help !!

Constant whir? Intermittant whir? Engine speed or road speed related?

A worn diff has a very distinctive whine/whir....trust me, you'd know it, and the gearbox would be severly f'cked to make this noise and it doesn't just suddenly wear out either, it's a gradual process.....unless of course there is no oil in the box!

If the noise road speed related, it's the gearbox probably. If it's engine speed related, then......

Worn/wearing ZF PAS pumps make a whir too....is your steering heavier than it should be?
