Noise from 30mph.mg zs ev 2020

[skhwoody]

The car is fine upto 30 mph, once you hit this magical number there is a rumbling / minor vibration? Which continues upto 70mph. I assumed wrongly that it was a wheel bearing, this has been checked and all fine. I am wondering whether it is one of the motors? Any help would be appreciated.

Tyres?

I am wondering whether it is one of the motors?

Just to say that the ZS EV is a FWD model only and therefore only has one single drive motor, that provides power via the both the front two drive wheels.
The rear wheels are trailing wheels only.
Tyre drone maybe ??.

Got it booked in next week to look.

Front wheels need tyre balancing maybe ?

I hope so, there an underlying vibration, you can feel it through the floor between when you put on and remove the power... Might be minor

Im sure it can be resolved

Did you resolve this issue? I’m having the same problem

I'm sitting in the garage at the minute, exact same issue... haven't changed the tyres yet, 42500 miles on the car. ZS EV registered March 2020. I diagnosed as a wheel bearing myself, and they have pre ordered one in. Can't understand why warranty wouldn't cover it as it's not a serviceable part

New wheel bearing fitted psf, £254.... The difference in the car is just great. Silent driving, must have been going since I bought it in April 2023 as I thought it was noisy, but had nothing to compare it to.
