Driveshaft?

bear1

Noticed yesterday that the car was making a vum vum vum noise which graudally increased with speed (I know it sounds stupid :P)
Anyway I pulled over and the front passenger tyre was low so I topped it up and the noise went away.
This morning the exact same problem but the tyre if of good pressure and the car pulls quite a bit to the right.
Slightly vibrates as well.
I had the tyres replaced in June and 2 of the alloys were repaired as they were slightly bent.
Could this be a driveshaft issue?

Not sure what you mean by that?
Do you mean CV joint?

Listen to the wheels when doing full lock (driving slowly). Does noise gets worse?

What car/year/transmission?

Full lock I get nothing so I'd rule cv joint out. Or maybe maybe the inner cv.

Tyre might be damaged.

The last time I heard a vum vum noise it was caused by a back window being open.

I thought the car was fooked honesty.

Nope Windows are all closed.
Tyre maybe but I'd be surprised if it gave me such symptoms.

Just to get back to this, you may be right.
I just ordered 2 brand new Imperials which will arrive tomorrow and ill report back if the issues have gone.

So update, got the tyres today and fitted and it has transformed the car.
No more vum vum noise, no more pulling to the right, it doesn't torque steer either and the vibrations whilst driving are fully gone.
Amazing to think really, glad i got it done as I would bet anything i'd have replaced parts which weren't necessary.
