#1: Rumbling noise gets faster as i speed up Author: henrythewasp, Location: LeicestershirePosted: Sun Jan 01, 2012 10:06 am ---- I have a peugeot 206 1400 diesel and it has developed a rumbling noise at the front that gets faster as the car speeds up but the strange thing is that when i turn left it disapears and comes back as i straighten up.Anyone got any ideas please?

If it goes away when you turn right, its your right bearing
