Sorry posted this in wrong section :-(

Gave my car her first clean and polish today :-) looks great, now at work :-(

Tomorrow I am going to have the passenger wheel off, I do have some rumbling coming from that side, more so at slow speeds, I can feel a definite low thud about 20mph seems to be every wheel rotation, may be bearings, may be a bad tyre.

ahhh see what you mean, sorry, I still have my 4x4 head on my shoulders LOL

mmmmmm perhaps it could be front to rear drive shaft, thats more awkward to get to, bearing in mind I have had a Toyota landcruiser for last 5 years and can just slide under the car and have room to work, even a fatty like me LOL

I must get the car in the air and have a look.

Well has both front wheels off today, could not find anything wrong mechanically, perhaps it is the quite worn tyres making the noise.
