Hi all,
I wonder if you can advise me. When I turn my car left or right I can hear a slight humming/grinding noise at low speeds normal speeds everything is fine. I have changed new brake disks and pads and new CV joints and new front wheel bearings and hub, but still have the issue.

Hello,

It sounds like it could be uneven tire wear patters. Can you check out this guide and get back to us please?

Rotate the tires to fix.

Hi Ken, thank you very much for your message.

I have checked the tires as you have suggested and I can see that there is wear on the outside wall on the passenger tire. I am unable to swap this with a spare tire as I do not have one with my car (repair kit only). As for the drivers side the tire is brand new. Do you really think that this noise/issue I am having is down to the bad tire?

Thanks,

Gavin

Hi Ken,

Apologies in late responding to you. As I have not been able to see where this issue is as was not sure if its dangerious I have booked it in today with an AUDI/VW specialist and after speaking with them not long ago they have informed me that the tyre on the drivers side has been incorrectly fitted (dirrectional wrong way round). They have advised me to go back to the place that fitted the tyre and get it corrected. Is this a possability why I am having this noise? Due to the incorrect fitting of a tyre ( directional way)
