New Hub Assembly hasn't fixed the rumbling! Thoughts?

2006 D3 has been vibrating/rumbling sound every time you tip it into a left hander so I assumed it was the front right hand wheel bearing.
It's not a terrible noise but definitely not right.
I ordered a new front hub assembly and had a fairly easy time replacing it this AM (I know other have had it much harder trying to get the old assembly off).

All went well until the post replacement test drive an hour ago and ..... it's not cured the rumbling Sad

Perhaps it's the rear gone - to me it sounds like rumbling was was from the front but I could be wrong.

Couple of questions:
1) Make sense to assume if rumbling when going left that it's the right side bearing (where all the load is being placed)?
2) If it's not the rear wheel bearing and the front has been replaced what else could cause the rumbling? Front discs and pads are all good, I changed them recently.

Thanks in advance.

Dan.

it could be the other side!
I swore my right front had gone and changed it.........no difference
changed the passenger side up and spin the wheel and wobble 12 to 6 and 3 to 9 job fixed......... its weird how the rumble travels across the chassis

jack her up and wobble wheel 12 and 6 and 3 and 9 to check Thumbs Up ....................................................................................................


If my wife ever sells my stuff for what she thinks I paid for them, you lot are gonna get some bargains!

Get yourself an infra red temperature gun (about £15) and take the car for a run.
After stopping, point the IR gun at all hubs to see hub temperatures.
The one hottest is most likely to be the one (unless you have binding brakes on that hub - but then you will be aware of this now as well!!).

Thanks guys! Is it more likely to be the front. Are they more common than the rears to give up?
Cheers Thumbs Up
