We want to buy 91 Mazda Maita MX5 convertible stick shift for our daughter. When we test drive there is a cyclic noise came from the rear end. My husband think wheel bearing or trans axel. First the noise was slow but every tire rotation became louder. What is the problem of the cyclic noise. Thank you.'.

Hi there,

thank you for the donation,

A wheel bearing will rumble and get louder with road speed, this noise may lust be something stuck in the tyre and striking the road on each revolution, look at this first.
