    hey....



    when i jack my car up and up my hands on the top and the bottom of the wheel
    there is quite a lot of play in it and i have had a look and i just cant see
    anyfing moving about.

    ps i had the car lowed about 4 months ago so i was wondering if the drive shaft was not in tight and the track rodend was chaged and i havent had it tracked up yet was going to do it on friday.




    any ides guys......?

    FIXED!!

    all it was that my drive shaft was a bit lose!! but he fucking charged me £20 to do up a bolt wich i could of just done at home :@

    and put a dent in my wing TWAT

    definitely sounds like a wheel bearing
    when u spin the wheel does it make a sort of grinding noise?

    will be a wheel bearing! also try shaking it side to side make sure there is no sideways movement

    thing to check is is it just the wheel that moves (not the whole strut)

    as it could be a topmount if its the whole strut

    not necessarily the wheel bearing, could be where the wishbone connects to the strut, where the pincher is, tighten the bolt.
