Title: vibration noise
Post by: marcogolfo on 04 July 2004, 16:03

hi i was wondering if anybody could help.  When I hit about 50/60 and faster i get this mad kind of whirring noise from the left wheel (sounds like its coming from there anyway) and can feel a little vibration through the steering wheel.  When i turn slightly to the left the noise goes but as soon as i centre the wheel again it comes back.  Could th is be my wishbones??? I asked a mate and he didn't think that it wouold be the bearings.  Anyway help is much appreciated.  Thanx.  Also I'm polishing my inlet manifold from the dull to shiny.  I started with a rough sandpaper and worked my way down.  Its coming up but not as mirror finish as i want it.  Can anyone reccomend anything to help me out?
Thx
Regards
Marco
