Hi guy's,
I'm hoping that someone can provide their experience to help identify an annoying noise that has recently emerged.
I recently got rid of the Grand trek tyres and replaced them with some 697's. Not long after this I also had a front CV changed. I am now finding an annoying and concerning sound has developed (mostly noticeable on the freeway).
I can't find any obvious visual issues with the tyres but I'm assuming it likely relates to one of the tyres. It's not a constant sound, best I can describe it is like a wop wop noise or say similar to the sound of a helicopter.
The car drives fine, no vibrations, no shakes. Was wondering if it may have been a bearing, but would assume a bearing would be a constant sound (turned the wheels by had, and looked for movement, and any binding, nothing obvious).
The only other things I can think of is that:
1.I changed the spare tyre rim onto the car when the trye's were fitted (would assume any rim issues would show as a vibration). 2. Could the bearings be too tight or too loose when the CV was replaced? 3. Not aware of any issues with the suspension (except for its age).
Any advice appreciated, don't want any failure on the road.
