Ive got a vibration/hum once i start to get to about 60km and once up above 80 km it gets louder, it completely stops when i go around a left hand bend/corner! Just replaced my passenger side rear wheel bearing coz that was stuffed, the other wheels had no play when wobbling them. Any idea's, gearbox mount? engine mount? Chop |

I have the same problem. When I turn the vibration goes away, I can't find anything wrong with my vitara. I'm going to see if one of my control arms is bent next week sometime, only thing I can think of. |

Had exactly the same thing when I first got my car. It was the front left wheel bearing. I found it really weird as well because the wheel had no play, nor was there any real vibration, just the noise. |

Put the MT/R's back on as it's clearly the AT's that you just bought thats causing all these noises. |

It was the front wheel bearings, both had pitting in the outer race, the wheels had no play/movement in them. Replaced and was quiet as a mouse afterwards.
