    Hey everyone!

    I am trying to identify some noise coming from around the front wheels (sounds like both sides) on my 2013 Prius.

    So far I have replaced:
    Both front struts (they were worn)
    Lower control arms on both sides (they were not too worn)
    Sway bar links (they were worn)

    I have inspected everything around the front wheels and everything looks solid, there is no play at 3 and 9 o'clock, no play at 12 and 6 o'clock, no play on the sway bar or the tie rods and no weird noise when I spin the wheels.

    The noise I hear sounds dull and I can only hear it at low speeds when I am driving on uneven road. When I go over bumps weirdly it doesn't make the noise so I have excluded the shocks/struts.

    I do not know what to replace next.

    Any advice appreciated!

    Here is a video where you can hear the noise in the background:
