Local mechanics swear this was always a Jap car issue but now affects other makes.
Usually solved by rotating the tyres.
Nowdays no-one rotates tyres, i've had it a fair bit on larger VWs and small Peugeots for some reason, one 206 had a recon box, 2 new wheel bearings and 2 driveshafts before it came to me and the old boy i share the workshop with suggested tyres and i laughed at him but the old sod was right ! i guess 50+ years in the game has taught him something, i rotate tyers first now even if they are directional just as a test.Usually solved by rotating the tyres.
I've had this quiet a few times on various cars, the most recent was on my Audi A4 a few months back, I was sure it might be the tyres but wanted a mechanic to confirm this for me, a mechanic jacked the car up and stated categorically that it was the wheel bearings, having bought the bearings and fitted them, the noise was still there, two new front tyres later and it's back to normal.
