SooperD Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Had this for a while now.. Going slow i get a knocking which sounds like its coming from the N/S. Also feels very "gritty" when going around roundabouts. Possible wheel bearing ? I had my mate check it out at the garage and he said the drivers side Track rod end/rack end was knocking too. If i shake the steering side to side it knocks, when pressure is applied to the track rod end (from my mate via his hand pushing upwards) the knock stops. Any other ideas ? i dont wanna go spend money i dont neccessarily have to if i can. Also can some1 point me in the best direction to get the track rod ends ? Good price good quality ? Cheers allD Quote
Starlet__SR Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 If its wheel bearing then you should be able to check the play on it, c.v joints produce a loud clicking when on full lock, seek expert advice if you are unsure..Damien Quote
GT Phayer Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 if the nock stops when you hold the track rod end thats whats causing the nock and requires changing the graiting noise could possible bee a low brake pad because wen going round a corner it puts more strain on the pad so if its getting low it will like make a grinding noise ( metal to metal sound ) or the cv joints might need greasing.if you grab the road wheel its self and can feel play side to side and up n down but stops when the brake is pressed thats the wheel bearing check its rotation and check for ruff rotaion and noise hope this helps Quote
WallaceGlanza Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Yeah get the track rod end changed and see how it is after that, you can get blueprint one's for a good price off Ricky@Japmad on tgtt or Dave (TM Developments) on here, they're only about 15 quid. Quote
SooperD Posted July 12, 2009 Author Posted July 12, 2009 Top stuff.. Cheers all.. will get some and fingers crossed it'll only be that Quote
Steve GT Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 I've just replaced my track rod ends got them from tm.developmentsthe best way to know your track rod end has gone is it will be eating away the tread on your tire Quote
