just drove my corsa 1.2 home and started making a rumbling sound when i took my foot off the accelerator.
it doesnt make the noise when i accelerate. just had new wheels put on there and thought it might be rubbing but not sure if thats the problem...... anyone got any ideas??

First thing id do is check wheel nuts.
Failing that get the wheels balanced.

They would have to be replaced ideally with a press. you could probably do the rears yourself but you would have to be careful that you do not bend any part of it while putting it in. From what i can remember you would need a bearing pull aswell.
but the fronts are huge and would recommend getting them done at a garage or a mate with the right tools
