Hi everyone,

I'm still trying to decipher the whirring noise coming from the front of my car (even though it's still at the panel shop) at highway speed.

For those who don't know, my CVT was diagnosed as the cause of the noise and was replaced under warranty a month ago. They mentioned the car had 'excessive road noise' when they tested it and said it 'might be the tyres' but, that's what they said prior to the CVT replacement. I put new Michelins on the car back in Feb (prior to the new CVT) and the sound is still there. They either don't know what's causing the noise or they don't care, either way the car is now out of warranty and i'm sick of dealing with them.

I have a feeling it's the front left wheel bearing, i've been doing some research and I think it might be the issue. There doesn't seem to be any info in Australia but, there's a few articles and youtube clips that seem to indicate it might be the bearing.

Has anyone had any issues with them or had their bearings replaced? Keen to hear your thoughts

Thanks everyone!!

I had mine in the shop, had a light whirring at highway speed, but more knocking at low speeds. They diagnosed as Drive shaft hanger bearing and a leaking shock. Dunno if its anyway similar to your noise tho :).

Hey Sany.
Sorry I haven’t been able to get it looked at. I’m based in Victoria and just come out of lockdown. I’ll update once I get it looked at.

I'll wait for news. In the auto service, I could not find the cause of the noise (
