Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just purchased my 996, 98 model from the UK. Drove it back to Germany and started to notice a "whirring" sound from the front end at speed it increased in volume. Well it's now become even more noticeable after this Sunday drive. I am thinking wheel bearings, but wanted to know is there anything else I should look at also. I had the wheels balanced before crossing the channel and at high (autobahn) speed 120 mph+ there appeared to be a shudder coming through the steering wheel. Any thoughts or previous experiences greatly appreciated, Thnaks, Bezza
