"Wong wong wong wong" sound when driving

Don't think its tires problem cos I have this "wong wong" sound after I replaced my new tires with Stamford. I went to 2 different outlet to let them check and both mechanics gave me the same explanation after a test drive.

One of the mechanic say I'm not able to hear the sound in my old tires cos the old tires sound is louder than the faulty bearing sound. The tires noise supersede the bearing sound. Are they implying that those CSC tires are so quiet ?

Any bros experience bearing issues before?

from my experience...
tire problem = "wong wong" sound appears immediately when u start driving
bearing problem = " wong wong " sound appears when u go above 60-80km/h

Yes, my bearing problem is exactly as described. Only when hit a certain speed then will appear.
Recently just changed at R2D, its a 3-4hrs job, quite labour intensive as have to remove quite abit of stuff. After change already swee swee.

Re: "Wong wong wong wong" sound when driving

Am surprised to hear u got "bee sound" after changing to 20" c/w Conti tires. Most Bros here had changed to 20" for our F10 and so far I have not heard anyone complain. My 20" rims c/w Yokohama Advance tyres and it's been smooth n quiet. Best u check yr tyre conditions and if the "bee sound" commences the moment u drive....then confirm yr tyre is the problem....cheers.

Usually only change the set that has problem, rear set or front set.

The bearing itself is not that ex, only the labour is ex. my advice is to get the original, pay a little more for peace of mind on the part because the labour to change it is high.

also there is no special skill to change the bearing so to save $$, look around for the reasonable labour charge to have them change :) buy the part yourself from PML........

Agreed. My former car lasted as much as 230 000 km before I sold my ride....

BAD bearing assembly will resonant at specific frequency depending on the number of defective ball bearings inside :)
 
Re: "Wong wong wong wong" sound when driving

hi guys, i am experiencing the wong wong sound when doing speeds above 60km/h. Usually becomes evident when tackling a slight incline. No such sound on level ground or going downhill. When the wong sound comes, it is accompanied by a slight dip in the rpm. Is it also the bearing problem?
 
Re: "Wong wong wong wong" sound when driving

Yup, you are right. Its the bearing problem. I got my bearing changed for the front wheels and the sound disappeared :)

I just change the front. A pair of bearing cost me ard 300 exclude labour. As i'm doing servicing and changing of of brake pads, total labour cost is ard 120.
