How can I find.......?
How can I find out what the whuuuuuring noise is coming from the backend of my bug, I can't tell if it's the left or right side, but it's pretty loud and starting to annoy me.
Could anyone help please?
Cheers

Cheers there all the same, will there be movement in the wheels if it's the bearings? And also how can you determine if it's the diff that's the problem?
I have a bugeye sport So haven't got DCCD.
Any help anyone... Cheers

Yes and you can also get tyre noise which people often mistake for bearings, run your hand around the tyres, if you have high spots then that's more than likely your issue, the tyre distorts over time causing it to get high/flat spots on them causing the noise

Ok thank for that everyone
The rear pads do need changing which is a job for next weekend there's only a couple of mm or so...
Hopefully will sort the noise as it's really quite loud and annoying now

We will see what next weekend brings

I was pretty sure it was my diff , the noise seemed central , but it was both wheel bearings
And even though there was no play they still rumble
Like a wu wu wu wu wu wu wu noise
See you even get sound effects on here lol

Well in theory they should go around the same time , but one of mine was a lot worse than the the other
I had some spare hubs so I changed the worse one first then carried on running it until the other went totally ( wheel wobble like a clown car )
I would say it did around 3/4k miles from the start of rumble to collapse
Not the best way to run you're car but like I say I had spare hub assemblies

Have you tried loading the rear bearings and noticed a more pronounced noise or different noise
Pick either a wide clear straight road or nice curve ( smooth as poss )
And swerve smoothly left and right ( no need to go fast or mad )
And listen for any change in the noise

It changes slightly when I turn right I have noticed that ,but when going straight I can't tell if its either the left or right side, or both .
It gets louder as I go faster though

Well I'm going to do both sides anyway now but still my question is ,..is there any way of knowing weather it's the diff or wheel bearings? Or is it jus trial and error really?
Because I'm looking at £100 for parts and around £50 labour depending on time.
Then if its not that then onto the diff which will be a bit more
