ford focus st170 noise

[stewartcampbell]

Hi, im getting what i can only describe as a noise like the old v10 f1 cars made from the front of my car, getting gradually noisier and it is worse on smooth tarmac, it also goes away when cornering to the left.Had it up in the air and couldnt hear where it was coming from, plus when it was up in the air it wouldnt rev right as one wheel was spining then the other would try to start and there is a bit of slack ie backlash in the transmission which kept messing it up.Also possibly not doing it with the weight off the wheels.No play in either of the front wheel bearings so im now starting to think possibly the diff-gearbox, hope not.

For anyone finding this thread through a search it was a wheel bearing.
