Weird noise
 
Hi guys got a very weird noise like I've got a flat tyre on passenger side front,I recently changed droplinks over the lockdown but have recently started to use car again she's a CDT 01 tourer 70k any ideas I've got a horrible feeling it's the eBay droplinks or worse front wheel bearings any ideas ?????

Could it be the top strut mount?

Only you can tell if there is play in the drop links by checking them. --- the top bearings won't make a noise like a flat tyre.

Have you hit a kerb perhaps. Could be a blister on the tyre wall.

Wheel bearings will make a grumbling noise but not suddenly. If the noise has only appeared since you changed the drop links maybe the noise has something to do with the work you did.---:shrug:

Maybe you knocked the dust shield and it’s just rubbing on the brake disc?

Check all the treads for a nail or stone, it can still hold pressure but make a helluva a noise as it hits the tarmac..

Definitely not a grumbling noise so not a wheel bearing ,I've grabbed the new droplinks doesn't appear loose as not even 6 months old so the brake shroud doesn't run so I'm hoping it's a stone in tread😳😱👍

When rolling in first gear with no throttle, does the steering wheel oscillate? I’ve seen out of shape tyres cause this kind of issue. If unsure maybe swap wheels front to back to at least rule out wheels and tyres
