I noticed today a lot of rattling noise coming from the passenger rear
side of the car, I have no idea what it is! it just sounds like
something is lose I guess... it is very hard to describe I am not sure
how to describe it!
It doesn't happen all the time - it seems to come and go but if I
don't have the radio on it is annoying! I can hear it most at around
up to 30mph - if I go faster I can't hear anything else...
It is definately something obviously to do with the wheels and/or
suspension but is it anything serious or just some road noise from a
car that has done over 150,000 miles?
My local garage did change or swap over the rear wheel bearings on the
car as they thought it was causing the ABS to come up with a fault and
since then the ABS light seems to stay off except for occasionally
when it comes on, so whatever they did has sorta stopped my ABS light
coming on!
Of course I have no idea if the noise was there before or not as I
have been extra sensative to any car noises since my car broke down
about a week and a hald ago and had two new coils fitted.... so I
would like to know if it is something to get checked or nothing worth
worrying about.
I have read on this forum about wheel bearing hum - but I have no idea
what that sounds like and obviously the garage would have replaced the
bearings when they swaped them over (if they didnt replace them
anyway) if they were worn out so is it likely to be that?
One other thing I have read that S40s do not like Pirelli tyres and I
can safely say that my rear tyres ARE Pirelli P6000's! I know the
tread is getting low and the tyres needs to be changed in the next
couple of weeks could this be the cause of the sound?
Thanks.
