Hello,

I've just bought a 98 XLT with 140Km on the clock. The only serious problem so far is a windy noise which I think is coming from front left (car is left-hand drive), sounds a bit like loud tyre noise, and feels a little bit lumpy/grindy through the steering wheel. The tyres are a smooth road-type tyre, in good condition.

The car also has a minor judder around 100km/h but smooths out again at 115-120km/h.

Can you please give a nOOb some advice ?

Thanks

Blewyn
 






It could be many things .. but perhaps the wheel bearing assembly.
