Drumming Noise

[Lancs_lad]

My wifes 2008 Yaris TR Diesel has developed a drumming noise (resonance) from the front. It was due some tyre changes so we've had them done today and the drumming is still there. It becomes noticeable at around 25 -30 mph and increases with speed so I'm thinking drive shaft or perhaps wheel bearing problem?

Anyone else had similar issues? It will obviously be going into the dealers for sorting but it would be better knowing if thre are any known issues first.

If its a wheel bearing, then it will go quieter as you turn into a sweeping bend one way but get louder when you turn into a swweping bend the other way....

Its a 2008 car so just dump it back into the dealers under warranty......

That's exactly where it's going :) But it's always nice to know of any existing problems if ther are any.

Possible wheel bearing fault. The dealer should know what to do. Hope you get it sorted.

The cuddly drummer had been left at home

Been to dealers today and it's a rear o/s wheel bearing. The noise didn't change with cornering but anyway it'll be changed under warranty. Not too impressed that a wheel bearing needs changing after 12 months/15000 miles though. On the plus side. customer service at Toyota is 2nd to non though :D
