Ford Focus 2006 road noise

Daniel S · 2015-09-27 12:28:49

Hi, Went through the NCT recently, failed on a rear bushing. There's a noise that I thought was wheel balance, but they've all been done (along with new tyres). It gets bad about 60km/h. Seems to resonate. Could it all be down to the bushing or is it a wheel bearing or something? Thanks, Dan

Sounds like it could be a wheel bearing to me.

Wheel bearings seem quite common to go on the Focus mk2, or I've been told anyway
