Front end issues

[teleman]

Hey all. Just my troll go through its 200,000 service. Very costly but worth it none the less. Had the wheels balenced and an alignment plus whatever else they replace in the service.
Went straight on a trip up the coast. Sweet. All good. So I thought...

On the Hume about 300 kms into the trip, a noise started. Its like a grinding noise. Not metal on metal grinding but like a rubbing grind. My mrs thought it was just the road surface, but we tested the therory, Its definatly coming from the car. The noise doesn't seem to affect engine speed or steering but it is intrusive enough to cause me concern.

It seems to start when there is a bump on the road. Not like a speed bump, like a change in asphalt or pot hole.

Any ideas?

Not much to go on but if they've done an alignment I'd be underneath checking to make sure they left nothing undone or loose.

It wouldn't be the first time I've seen that happen.

Thanks again.
