Will that test work just for fronts? Any idea how to test rear wheel bearings

What about a buckled rim? Would that have been picked up when tyres were balanced?

Yep. I intend on taking it for a test thrash over the next few days.. I don't want to fork out cash for part that don't need replacing if they don't need it.

I'm not even sure what it is let alone front or rear hubs. I'm just trying to eliminate as I go.. it's definitely wheels or suspension. I can coast down a hill at 65 with the car in neutral and the sound is still there. Accelerating or braking doesnt affect it either. Really obvious between 60...

Bursons front hubs are around 20 bucks cheaper than genuine

That sounds great to me. I'll give them a call and check price.

I've got a drumming/hum at 60 to 80kmph. It's not balance or alignment. Disappears at 100+ Car has 330k on it so they may be a bit worn. Not enough to feel movement when jacking up and checking bearings but I'm thinking early stages of failure. Happy to hear opinions.

I'm in market for some new front wheel bearings. I don't want to get genuine due to cost so does anyone have any recommendation for a decent aftermarket brand I should look for or are they all similar SE asian quality.

Thanks for your reply. I'm getting all the mounts looked at this morning. I hope it isn't them because finding genuine is probably going to be a mission. Obviously you have been through it and I appreciate your advice, but would it be likely the noise would change or stop when I put the car in...

So still haven't found the cause. I have rotated the front wheels to the back and ir didn't make any difference. I also noticed it happens if I am rolling down a hill at 60 to 70 with no accelerator and even if I put the auto in neutral I can still feel/hear it. Noise is still there during...

Still don't think an engine mount would be felt through the steering wheel

It's not diff a rear wheel bearing issue coming thru the steering wheel?

Would an engine mount issue feed thru to the steering wheel?

V6 and I wouldn't expect it to feedback thru the steering wheel, or does it?
