Hello, I wonder if anybody can help me on this.

My mk4 Van has developed a whining/whirring noise from the rear left of the vehicle. It kind of came on fairly suddenly which i thought wasnt typical of a wheel bearing.
Ive also just been out and jacked it up both rear sides to check for play and there isn;t any.

The noise comes at 50mph+ and gets louder the faster i go.

But after having a look around the rear hub area today there really isnt anything else that would make a whining noise from that area, its all so simple. Maybe the discs and pads could be a little warped???

Anyone have and idea's?

Many thanks,

Simon.

Thanks. Can anyone confirm my thoughts?

I know on the Astra's you have to replace the whole hub if the bearing goes
