front wheel bearing

[krisbutler02]

had a nasty knocking noise from the front passanger wheel whilst small acceleration and over big bumps

thought it was the driveshaft but that looks fine

but the found this is this normal ? or does the shaft hold it together

 

[Ibiza125]

No I wouldn't say that looks right to be honest..!

 

[krisbutler02]

ill take it to the garage 2 moz i think

 

[krisbutler02]

has any one one here done a front wheel bearing?

 

[SEATCOOBER]

yes i have but got a garage to press the new bearings in both for a tenner!!

 

[krisbutler02]

did the bearing ,

still have a problem when i go round a corner it clunks (wheel speed)
and the steering wobbles vilantlly left to right when accelerating (even when straight)

any ideas?

 

[nick-barnes07]

have you checked the bottom arm's are alright, and all bushed???

 

[chrisbond69]

yeah i would check lower arms and mounts down below

 

[chrisbond69]

ah just thought that rubber thing on the drive shafts not fallen off has it

 

[krisbutler02]

na still on there (well is on drivers side)

 

[chrisbond69]

ok checked the steering rack mounts? steering rack? wheel alignment, wheels themselves,

 

[krisbutler02]

im gunna get a new priveshaft and get a set of powerflex bushes 2 rule all that out

garage thinks it may be a driveshaft
