Remember this?
"Someone hit my car a fortnight ago and today I got It back from the VW repairers looking great with new front wing, headlight assembly, front bumper apron, three new tyres and new N/S alloy wheels and a few hidden things."
Well a few miles driven now and it's obvious that the impact has given rise to some mechanical problems of the rotational sort. From about 35mph upwards I get a lot of road noise or rather a humming, heterodyning noise which is especially noticeable on very smooth roads.
I am worried now that the car's impact with the kerb resulting in flat tyres and badly damaged Alloys has transferred damage to other parts on the 'axles' or bearings etc. The repairers have told me they have checked all alignments etc but there is something wrong somewhere and usually I would suspect bearings but there is very little change in noise swinging the steering from left to right. The car is going back to them on Thursday for investigative work. The two men that took the car out for a drive acknowledge that there is a 'noise' there but am so worried the source may be difficult to find, easily.
