As some may know I tend to over service my vehicles but do make them work hard. I had a vibration through the body and also a whumpf noise
So replaced lower arms and also replaced both brake callipers and wheel bearings on the rear this solved some of it.
I was left with an intermittent vibration through the wheel primarily between 70 and 90 tested on a foreign road of course, anyway mot came and went no issues but I was still after this vibration that no-one else could feel - remember that all bushes front and rear have been replaced at least once in the 100k I have done it is on 180k, So to the front bearings stripped the hubs down and bingo the circlip had witness marks that showed that the bearing was moving in side the hub carrier never seen that before. On inspection both hub carriers were somewhat porous so new hubs abs sensors (because they always break )bearings all from Dan at a good price and bingo all sorted
Not sure if the degrading was due to mileage but probably age so all with 2007 or earlier might be worth a check to see how the front hubs are going.
Replaced the rears before heading off to France a few weeks ago
