#1: Wheel Bearing? Author: Austin, Location: TelfordPosted: Wed Jan 16, 2013 12:42 pm ---- Hi Guys,
Just brought myself a 2004 1.4 206 fever with 74k on the clock, I have noticed that when turning right (around an island) a loud grinding/whirring noise seems to be coming from the front of the car, kind of like a tyre rubbing noise. When in a straight line it is not as bad and hardly noticeable, there is no vibration through the steering wheel either. My first thoughts are wheel bearing but wondering if any of you guys have any experience of this?
Thanks
Austin

It could be a loose wheel arch liner.
It could be a wheel bearing.
It could be a drive shaft.
Let us know when fixed.
