I had a noise in the rear of my previous bug eye a few years back,and was sure it was a wheel bearing,so ordered one.It turns out it was the rear tyres that caused it.I still cannot explain why, as they looked ok but, when I fitted new ones ,no noise.And by the way I returned the new bearing.The same thing happened the wifes S Max. So dont rush into any major mechanical work without ruling out the rubber.I should say too that I only use top brand tyres,not cheap "verified in europe" stamped ones etc....
