hello sir,
i own a ford figo vehicle in india.. der was some odd noise from d rear tyres of d vehicle during runing of the vehicle at about 60kmph n above.. it was lyk gadgadgadagadgad.......i went to michelin tyres .There they did wheel allingment and wheel balancing of all four tyres . they told that d tyre has undergone some uneven wear and tear due to which the sound was coming. i asked them the solution they told dat do d cross shifting of tyres. they did it and they replaced the tyre which was more torn wid d spare wheel available in my car boot. then again when i started to drive my vehicle there was more noise from d side where the new tyre was placed. i again asked the michelin person why is this happening again . he told dont worry once u travel 5000km with it the sound will reduce automatically . i have covered the mileage but the sound is still prevailing .. i doubt whether there is any fault wid the bearings.. plzz help me out .. the noise in my car is really irritating .. plz give the best possible solution to it .

i would look at the wheel bearings in the rear for failure. if you replaced the tire and still has noise, then the bearing is a major suspect.
