My w203 with 112k had a lower suspension arm replaced for the mot
Since then I have noticed this road tyre noise.
You here it from 30mph and above, you can hear it over the stereo.
It's like a droaning, almost the noise you get from offroad landrover tyres !
Comes fromom the front right where the arm was replaced.
If you drive over new tarmac it is much quieter.
Here is what has ben tried:
Swapped the arm for another - no change
Swapped front wheels over - no change
Nipped up the bearings - no change
Re balanced all 4 tryes, all are almost new - no change
Replaced the new front contis for miches - no change
Put the old worn out arm back on - quieter but still there ?
There was obviously something there before the arm was replaced but I hadn't taken much notice of it.
Replacing the arm has amllified the noise
Any ideas ?
Cheers
Adam
