How to differentiate between bearing and cv joint problem

Post by vw4eva »

Hi guys , so there is something wrong with my polo 2008 .

i dont know if it the bearings or CV joints.

When driving especially uphill the car vibrates in the front and i cant go more then 90km\h. its not balancing of tyres as car has new tyres and balancing done.
When turning there is NO noise it is fine.
It sounds like a humming noise sometimes.

what could it be?

If there is a humming noise, its your wheel bearngs.

I had it not too long ago and when replacing bearings, noise went away.
