New tyres
Just had new firestone F700 fuelsavers tyres put on front of bongo 215 65 15s in place of van tyres 195 70 15s. Its like a new van no noise and a lot better ride.
Thought front diff was on way out but now noise has gone. Softer ride will also make front drop links hopefully last longer as well as other suspension parts.

You will see an improvement...You've taken van tyres off a car! Glad to hear the noise was cured too!al & chris wrote:Just had new firestone F700 fuelsavers tyres put on front of bongo 215 65 15s in place of van tyres 195 70 15s.
