Group: G4 Member Posts: 168, Visits: 2.2K	Don't know if anyone has experienced this but i'm sure its not my imagination... My 08 D3 is fitted with new MTR's with 13 mm tread. All wheels straight and true and balanced perfectly.. When i just start to drive off and at low speeds only i get a very slight metallic vibration through the steering wheel. The tyres due to their construction and type obviously roar and rumble as you drive along but i'm pretty sure i am diagnosing it as the beginnings of a front right wheel bearing failure. However put it into dealer and they took off the wheels and replaced them with an ordinary wheel / tyre combo and they say theres nothing wrong with wheel bearing and are purely blaming tyres. However when i drive car and roll the car around a long left hand bend the rumble gets louder and the vibration gets more prominent which would correspond with my diagnosis.. Has anyone else experienced my issues? The vibration can only be felt with a light input on the steering wheel and at low speeds but feels metallic/mechanical more than tyre 'oscillation'... All thoughts gratefully received..... Farmer Chalk... 2008 G4 D3 BT08BRF Fleet number 45....
