Default Road Noise PLEASE HELP!!

Hi all,

This is going to be very difficult to explain but I will do my best and would appreciate any feedback greatly as this is really p$$ing me off.

Car: AU XR8 Series 3, Auto, IRS Rear end

Problem: When driving between 50 and 70kph, a noise in the cab has developed which sounds like a tyre has uneven tread (rythmic sound with each rotation). I have removed each wheel one by one and replaced with a wheel I know is OK, road tested and this did not change the sound at all.

I have tried coasting in neutral, applying handbrake, disengaging handbrake, driving with brakes on, all at speed and no effect on noise.

Is there anything else in the driveline which could become out of balance and make this sound ie. wheel bearings, diff, driveshaft, cv axles on IRS??

Cheers,

Simon
