I'm getting a droning noise. At a guess I think it may be a bearing but I don't know how to find which one.

It gets louder under breaking.

Was a wheel bearing.

does sound like a bearing, think any play when you rock the wheel will tell you?

my missus came back this morning and said cars makin a noise , so went out in it and itsdroning from the front end sounds like something rubbing on a tyre , ive been underneath it this afternoon , and wheel bearings seem fine doesnt seem to be excessive play in driveshafts , the only thing ive found and its strange cos doesnt sound any different , is the exhaust is cracked manifold side just before the flange , could this be the rubbing sound? obviousley needs a new-un , but the rubbing sound seems more pronounced when you steer left or right,would a shift in weight as you turn make exhaust rub? any ideas ,
