A low drumming noise that changes with speed has just started on my 200 Venture. I have 156,000 miles on the clock, is well looked after and has been a dream car for me. I am suspecting it is a wheel bearing. I understand they are a sealed unit, just want to know if I am on the roght track before I buy a new one. Also is it wise to change out both sides at the same time.

Appreciate the help.

Thanks.

Ian.

 

Sounds like the bearings to me. I replaced both front wheel hub/bearings on my '03 at 15000 miles.
