<DIV>You say that, but neither the wheel bearings nor the drive train are
under any load. You could check the former by getting the car rolling then
taking it out of gear and seeing how the noise changes, and the latter by
driving the rear wheels when on jacks with the handbrake on.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It's more likely to be the front brakes binding than the bearings, I'd have
thought.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If it does it rolling as well as driving and you are brave enough and
can find someone you can trust, you could lie on the ground as they roll past
you and that might show whether it's from the front or the back.</DIV>

& rear jack stands the noise isn’t there. With the front wheels on the
ground and the rear on stands and transmission engaged, the noise also isn’t
there so one could assume the drive train isn’t the root cause on my noise. My
suspicion is that it is somewhere in the front axles but visual inspection
hasn’t produced any clues.
