Hi all

I have a 2005 cooper s automatic and am getting a drumming noise coming from the front end of the car. When on a smooth road I can hear a dull drumming from the front wheels. It is an intermitent (sp?) noise that is a low vibrating sound. It seems worse when i brake too but at high speeds it is not noticable.

Is it the balance of the wheels? My brother mentioned the bearings but he has no real idea to be honest.

Any suggestions would be welcomed before I take it to the garage.

Thankyou in advance

M

Ps tyres are dunlops on bullit wheels with even wear.
