Recently I've noticed a noise coming from my front left wheel. I only notice it at slow speed. It's like a whoop, whoop noise that seems to happen once per rotation and speeds up with the car.

Recent work done

Brake discs
Pads
Replacement caliper used but with new plates
Inner/outer tie rods
Brake dust covers which required removing the hubs and repacking the bearings.
Alloys refurbished

Good chance it's down to one of the above. It only happens sometimes so when I get the car up on stands and if i can't see anything wrong I may not be able to recreate the issue. Any ideas?

It may just be coincidence but I only noticed it after getting the alloys refurbished. Could a badly balanced wheel cause a noise?

Cheers
Mike

could be the brake dust covers rubbing on something. wheel bearings are another possiblity Jack it up and see what you find.

Yeah I'll need to get it jacked up and have a look. Hopefully find some time this weekend.

A bit of reading elsewhere suggests a bearing or perhaps tyre issue. Perhaps the bearing got contaminated or I didn't adjust it properly. If I don't see any issue I'll flip the tyres around and see if that makes any difference.
