Swansty, the lower steering column is recently changed so I don´t think my droning has anything to do with that.

Leesbay, both front hubs have been changed, one at 40.000 miles ago and the other just now. Both are Timken so I don´t believe the problem is hub related.

When the droning comes I can actually feel the vibration by putting a finger on the windscreen. It is most obvious just about at the very right end in the middle (if that makes sense...).

Cause of noise is found and cured. Changing the A-pillar plastic trims solved the issue. New ones are quite a bit tighter than the old ones.

Peter very helpful, you changed the whole trims not just the mounting rivets?

I changed the whole trim but it probably would be ok to change only the fasteners if plastics is ok.
