The noise increases when cornering2. The noise increases in vertical oscillation conditions.	1. Replace the wheel bearing on the side where the noise is loudest    Op. 4450C32 ONE FRONT WHEEL HUB BEARING, LH OR RH - REPLACE fitting it with the magnetic track facing the steering knuckle seal This bearing is used by the ABS active sensors to calculate the wheel speed. It should NEVER come into contact with metal shavings or magnetic components (screwdrivers, etc.) because they could alter the gap or damage the codifier and prevent a correct reading from the sensor.
1	BRAKE DISC CHECK	ALL OK	PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED	ACTION
	Check that the gap between the brake disc and the steel shield is sufficient	Move on to Step 2	Gap too small.	Restore the correct gap.
