    Writing on behalf of a friend who has a recent model Vauxhall van that has
    developed a strange noise.

    The noise is a low-pitched whine from the front end, related to road speed
    rather than engine speed.

    It doesn't seem to be coming from a particular side (left or right front
    wheel), and is most evident on a straight road at around 40mph.

    Wheel bearings seem to be okay.

    Any helpful suggestions would be most welcome.

    Hi,

    Might be a bad CV joint or differential?

    John.

    Thanks John.
    I'll pass on the suggestion.
