  • Get the wheel bearings looked at too. The sound you describe sounds just like a failing wheel bearing and if you don't get them replaced they can lock while you're driving - I knew a bloke who ignored his, it locked, put the car in a spin and took him off the road.

    Get it checked out and nurse it around town only. Avoid high speed roads.

    thats not an issue as on my car the bearings and the discs are the samepart its one complete unit. so either way both getting replaced.

    £93 for the both sides with wheel bearing is on the mark, unless your being ripped off by you motor factor.

    eurocarparts list them at £60 odd pounds.

    should of clicked realy megane scenic and rear discs with built in bearings duh me!. lol
