Car is 2007 BF2 typhoon with 40,000km.Just recently I've started noticing a groning/droning noise (don't laugh at my explanation lol) which echoes through the car every so often whilst slowing down about approx 10% of the time. The majority of the time is under brakes at lower speeds when coming to a halt, however, it is sometimes apparent whilst slowing down without applying brakes which worries me. Sounds like it comes from the rear end.For your info, my rear end bushes are gone and I'm replacing them in the next few weeks. There is no issues accelerating or any other driveline issue evident other than the diff clunk due to bushes. Brakes look good.Any ideas?Cheers!

I actually have two ideas after some further research.a) Could be wheel bearings since I have lost traction on more than a few occasions and done a drift day. I will get them looked at when changing the bushes.b) Could be the new tyres. I have kumho ecstas which I have been told are good but noisy.SHould be getting things done in the next couple of weeks so stay tuned.

I had my pin lock up once before causing the brake bad to stay on slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
