One thing I did notice is when I spin both front wheels when car off the ground they look like they are slightly out of round as if there is a kink in the wheel rim, its not by much maybe 5mm but still its there, maybe that's normal? Anyway will change hubs and see what happens...cheers.
How did you check the tyres? I had a noise that I couldn't work out.

The tyres were only half worn Falken's but it turned out to be the fronts, changed tyres and all quiet now.
