Default Rumble diagnosis please

i have a Rumble!

65-80mph and then again over 100mph only

feels like it is left side of the car and it feels like a faint vibration and rumbling road noise. nothing to do with tyres/rims as they have been swapped

also very recently noticed a clicking sound rear left side at variious speeds

IDEAS?

Does it get louder under cornering load?

droplinks for the clicking maybe, you running different anti roll bars?

Rumble not sure, wheel bearing? Balance?

dont think so

the rumble is not gear related but speed related. cant tell any cornering difference but as it is at 70mph hard to find a corner i can do at 70mph to check!

Drop links connect ARB to moving assembly.

I wondered about a wheel bearing but then they wouldn't click, nothing to do with the diff Shim?

Got a feeling the two are seperate

Rumble linked to diff and clicking to play in the wheel, prob lower rear wishbones

gonna sort the wishbones and see what's left

if the Rumbles still there gonna swap the diff out back to OEM and see what happens
