E39-What causes the noise?

[AhTu]

Hi there, i just recently discovered my ride having some humming noise from the front. It sounds like those 4wd big tyre noise but the noise will only notice during low speed (speed like 40Km/h).I don't know whether it is caused by the tyres or something got to do with drive shaft bearing??? I installed 4 brand new Kumho tyres from Korea about 5months ago.TIA

Looks like the uneven tyre problem to me.

Hi all, I went to the tyre shop and checked. They confirmed tyre is in perfect condition and told me that it could me front wheel bearing. I didn't ask them to change the bearing 'cox i believe they couldn't do the job well.

Wow, i guest got to spend some money liao!!!

Oh BTW, any idea how much it will cost for the bearing change?

TQ

I changed my rear wheel bearing on rm130 + labor rm30 per side.

Hi bro's

Good morning . Need your advise, i found that there is some oil leak exactly at the point where my oil dip stick slot joints the oil tank , there seems to be a seal at this point on the oil tank. Anyone have experienced this before and any idea where and how much it will cost to get this fixed, probably replacing the seal on the position the dip stick joins the tank. Thanks for the help.

regards,
Bala.
