There is nothing else back there really apart from wheel and wheel bearings.

The only other thing I could think of would be the brake pads rattling or rubbing.

Could be the tyre rubbing slightly on the inner wheel arch.

had 2 new tyres and 2 new track rod ends plus tracking on today and it has made a massive diffrence.

 

the weired noise is almost gone either it has and im hearing things or i can now only hear a faint murmering noise so i think it is the bearings and the old hard worn tyre was some how amplifying the noise...... not sure how?????

 

all i need now is the exhaust doing but carnt find where to get the datf fitting kit needed???
