Hi all, ive abit of a problem id like some advice on,

Basically before i take my car in for a respray i decieded to get the arches rolled to fit my new wheels. When i got the car back they hadnt fitted the rear spacers back on as they couldnt find the reason i had them on :doh:

After that i have noticed a humming , like tyres humming. I notice it most when on the motorway or a roads. Dosnt particualluy sound like a wheel bearing , plus only had a mot 2 months ago with no faults.

As yet i havnt had time to jack the car up and check or re fit the spacers and find out if it stops this?


Just wanted a few opinions on this really.

Thanks and a happy New Year to you all

Kieran

If your wheel bearings are fine then this will be the sound of "tyre wear" - when your tread wears low/your tyres are getting old they tend to make a noise. I have it on my Cupra and it's a different sound on different sufaces!
