Throbbing Noise Around The Front-Left Wheel / Shaft

[stubarny]

Hello eveyone,

I'm getting a metalic throbbing noise once per wheel revolution at the front-left wheel / shaft. It not a grinding noise, it's more like the shaft is getting loaded and unloaded each time the wheel turns.

Could this be a universal joint or bearing problem?

Many thanks for your help!

I could be what you've suggested. jack up that wheel and give it a turn by hand and see? Have you hit a pot hole maybe? could be some kinda damage!

Just had the same problem on my car. Turned out to be the front drivers wheel bearing. £30 for bearing from eurocarparts including 25% discount and £30 to fit.
