I replaced the drivers (right) side, and the noise is when I turn left and load the right side only.Have a missed it, which side have you replaced?

Yes logic would dictate that but after I found replacing the rear shocks increased my rear ride height anything is possible!I replaced the drivers (right) side, and the noise is when I turn left and load the right side only.
Hmmm.I’m putting my money on the rear wheel bearing, off side, or the tyre.
I had exactly the same ( documented here) long story short, all 4 wheel bearings, both drive shafts and a gearbox replacement and it was the OSR tyre, which was a quality tyre, less than a year old. I was Absolutely certain It was the front right wheel area.
I think being aluminium makes sound travel differently.
Sticking brakes definitely cause vibrations!Hmmm.
That is interesting. The OSR rear wheel does have a sticky calliper. But, would that make the vibration definitely be felt in the front passenger footwell?
Thank you. I have ordered a pair of rear callipers. Seemed sensible. Are the rear hubs/bearings a pig to do, or easy???Sticky brakes definitely make bearing fail as it overheats the hub and bearing and grease will seep out of the bearing causing it to fail. I had something similar with vibrations in the left front footwell back in my day in first gen Fabia and it was caused by faulty right rear bearing...

Cool. Just bought these too. See what happens. Makes sense to change them too.Dead easy!!!

I don't know rear disc brake situation as I have drums, but I assume it is same - you can change whole hub with the bearing in it. It is quite straight forward job I would say.Thank you. I have ordered a pair of rear callipers. Seemed sensible. Are the rear hubs/bearings a pig to do, or easy???
It maybe your drive shaft Phil. I am at the workshop on Saturday then away for a weeks holiday hopefully.Ok. So I fitted 2 new rear callipers and 2 new rear wheel bearings the other day. And STILL the noise is present when I turn left. Tracking has been done, and the tyres are all new Khumo's. 215/40/17
Any ideas? I am hoping to get down to see @Ami this weekend for a ponder and test.
Awesome. I will be down. With biscuitsIt maybe your drive shaft Phil. I am at the workshop on Saturday then away for a weeks holiday hopefully.
Did someone mention biscuits? I’m with @Ami on this, when I had a front wheel bearing go on mine earlier in the year if was a speed related whine not unlike the noise a RR jet engine makes ( not quite as loud of course ) It didn’t get quieter or louder depending on whether turning left or right, just faster or slower. I’d be thinking CV joint perhapsThat's why I am bringing them too!!!
Hopefully we can get to the bottom of the issue.
