Got a really strange noise on the NS rear (Exige that is)
Its a catching noise that is def wheel speed related.
Def not the wheel catching bodywork and def outboard
Only happens after 10 miles but is then consistent
Took wheel off today and noticed that the NS disc has worn substantially more than the OS - but pad wear on both sides is consistent
There is no play in any of the bushes and the wheel bearing seems aok
Really puzzled on this

I don’t think its a wheelbearing (you can feel them when jacked up)and disc wear has got me puzzled

Had wheelbearings in the past that have no play and sound ok when wheel is spun whilst on a jack…
Sometimes the only way to tell is to simply change it.
Also I’ve learned to always do both sides cos if you don’t you’ll only have to get yer tools out again in a few weeks !

I have had that too, all felt fine but bearing change sorted it.
Old tyres can also sound a bit like a bearing
Don’t listen to the tossers, Simon, I reckon it’s the outer CV joint.
