possible rear beam problems

[djinuk]

ok, basically its a little strange, ive had 3 sets of wheels on my car so far, 13s, 15 inch turbines, and 14 inch steel wheels.

I have a problem where around once every 20 mins a loud humming/vibration shakes the car , and then goes away, its like a wheel severly rubbing but i cant work out what it is. This happens at any speed, usally driving straight on smooth roads.

The only thing i thought is that maybe the rear beam is on some kind bushes that have began to fail , allowing for movement.

Any ideas folks .

Have u checked the rear wheel bearings, there pressed into the rear discs

hmm not yet, is that a case of jacking the rear of the car up and then checking for any play .

After that check the bolts the hold the rear dampers on, these should have thread lock on so the don't work loose but ya never know
