    Loud humming sound?

    So bought a $400 golf built everything up etc all on the road now, only problem is there's a loud humming sound at the rear left of the car, especially going at 100km, I know it's not the engine what can it be?

    Do you get the humming sound at low speed? Or is it only at 100km? Could it be the wheel bearings?

    Second that, also could be a scalloped tyre, from not being rotated or stuffed shocks.
    Other cause could be a Directional tyre fitted the wrong way on car.

    Sounds the same as mine, I get a slight 'whirling' sort of sound when I sit on the freeway at around 100 km/h. My first guess was wheel bearings coz it's not coming from the engine. I haven't seen to mine yet though. Let us know how it goes!
