MG4 Ticking/Rattling Noise Coming From Behind The Steering Wheel

[Rapax]

No, boot is fine, there is a humming noice as I have small spikes on a rear wheel, but just noticable from 40kmh.
And front left is for sure gone, as others reported here.

I need to sign up for this ticking rattling problem with the front left part, under the steering wheel. Probably the same problem with front wheel bearing as many of you reported and solved here.

But there is a problem in the rear also. It´s a different sound, like when you go over the white line on the highway, just much less, as one tire is a bit deflated (but it´s not). I think it´s rear right wheel.
It starts at 40kmh and I can hear it until 70kmh, after that other sounds mask it. Did anyone experienced similar sound from the rear?
I will try to find time and visit MG service.

The clicking noise is caused by a faulty left front wheel bearing, while the humming noise is caused by the right rear wheel bearing.

I had a similar sound to the center/ white line, only mine was intermittent. Then I noticed that it faded away on long right-hand curves. On left-hand curves, the sound came more frequently. Try it yourself and see if it works.

Update for my case.
Both front wheel bearings are bad, same ticking sound on both. They will order parts and call me. Obviously MG4 have production problem with front bearings.
They could not find rear bearings are bad, and that's not good imo, because I think that is the main issue for what I went there in first place. I can just hope the humm I have is transferring from front bearings.

That's the situation with me too. They didn't replace it for me either because there is no such fault. I should go home, the fault will become more apparent later. The fault didn't become more apparent, but I kept banging on the table until the mechanic came with me. They said there was no such buzzing noise. We reached the speed and the buzzing noise came. The mechanic went back and told his manager that there was a humming noise. They couldn't tell me what it was, but they guessed it was the rear wheel bearing and stabilizer. Thank goodness their guess was right.
You need to call the repairman to come with you. Have it repaired under warranty.

I sat in several MG4s, and they kept telling me that the car didn't make any noise. Fortunately, I didn't let them convince me. Now there really is no rattling or buzzing, and it doesn't make any noise at all.

I went to my dealer last week to deal with this under warranty and they said there's nothing they can do - the ticking is a known issue but the manufacturer said there's nothing really wrong and nothing they can do.
Pretty frustrating.
I'll send them the bearing notes from here.
HOWEVER, I don't hear the sound when I roll down the window - only internally. Is this what you guys have experienced?

What did you replace?

Did you get this repaired? Was it the bearing?
I went to Rishon last week and they said they are familiar with the issue but the manufacturer said there's nothing wrong. I then found this forum...

They are lying to you.

You need to drive at a slower speed to hear it with windows down. Otherwise other noise will become too loud.

Did they actually admit the bearings were bad?

 

[ysheri]

No, they said they didn't know what the sound was from. I was so frustrated that I looked this up and came across your forum / comments. Will take this back to them

That is just incompetence. Write a formal complaint adressed to MG.
