    Wong wong noise

    Hi all,

    I am experiencing a wong wong noise when driving straight/cruising along. It seems like the noise is most obvious in 4th gear (~60kph).

    Is this a gearbox oil issue or something else?

    I'm up to 63k on the OEM tyres now. The fronts are pretty much screwed now (haven't rotated them in a while) but the rears are still above wear indicator. Will be replacing the fronts this weekend =)
