I noticed this at 30,000’ish miles in the summer and just had them done at 34,000’ish. Glynn Hopkins claimed all mechanical wearing parts are 10,000/12-months warrranty. Had to order the bits from China - £280 for both front wheels and a couple of hours of labour.

Hi @FunkyWorm , the wheel bearings is guaranteed 36 months or 45,000 miles.
I found the warranty document, here:

Do you need to replace front or rear wheel bearings?

 

[Zeller]

do you have two rear wheel bearing defected?

I am happy to report that the humming noise that occurred at certain speeds has finally stopped. The right rear wheel bearing was replaced with the stabilizer. The car stopped humming when turning right, but the humming became louder when turning left. Now everything in the car is working as it should!

The entire operation was a warranty repair. They ordered the parts. I had to wait two hours, and then they gave me my car back. All the humming and buzzing noises stopped immediately.

I had this problem at specific speeds. For example, at exactly 56 km/h or 83 km/h or 106km/h. They got in the car and said they couldn't hear anything. I said, "OK, I'll drive, and someone sit in the back." I folded down the other rear seat. We drove about 100 meters, I accelerated to 56 km/h, and immediately there was a humming noise. The mechanic said, "I can really hear something." Of course, he had a hard time admitting it, so he said, "I can barely hear it." I said I didn't care, that it wasn't normal. So they ordered the left rear stabilizer and wheel bearing. To answer your question, I am now very happy with the car, it works perfectly. I am much, 1000 times better and more relaxed.

The clicking noise is caused by a faulty left front wheel bearing, while the humming noise is caused by the left rear wheel bearing. I've already had three replaced under warranty (the front two and the rear right). The right front also clicked, but you couldn't hear it from inside. It was a series of really bad wheel bearings. Now the car is quiet, as it should be

What is the reason for replacing the stabilizer?

No one in the workshop was sure that the problem could be solved just by replacing the wheel bearing. So they replaced that too.

Frequent mechanical complaints (and poor bearings are frequently occurring) are registered in a knowledge base with symptoms, diagnostics and repairs at all brands. This just shows how poorly MG organizes its services.

To help me with my dealer can you send me the technical document about warranty replacement with parts? Any video or photos about parts replaced? What is Stabiliser?

I took the car to an official MG service center in Hungary. I did not receive or request any documents regarding the replacement. They already have plenty of paperwork on this matter (I don't think I need any). What exactly is your problem with the car?
