No play and dunt make a sound in reverse :undecided:
-
it makes a sound when out of gear tho yea?
i still think CV joint, im gonna get russ to look at the video
-
Ye even coasting it makes that noise
-
Don't sound like a cv joint to me! Sounds like a rubbing. A cv is more metallic on an outer, inners usually are felt as a rumble. How longs it been happening? What suspension do you have?
-
have you checked the wheel bearings mine broke up on my mk4 turbo an wasnt to far away from that noise
-
Obvious question. But are your wheel bolts tight? I see wheels have been added recently.
-
Ye checked for rubbing, wheel bolt tightness etc etc, started about 4 days ago and has gradually got worse, my initial thought was wheel bearing but there is no play in the wheel and doesnt sound like the normal wheel bearing sound, the sound almost goes away on hard right.
-
What did you do 4 days ago? Sounds like something simple dont sound cv or bearing related. It's like a creak but sounds rubbery as the speed gets up. You tried changing wheels to eliminate those. Possible high offset problem?? Hard to tell from the vid.
-
Everything has been fine up until a few days ago, started very quiet and has gradually got louder as ive used her which makes me think something is wearing out, Thats whats making me think bearing or cv
-
Unless the grease has come out of the cv then they don't usually make noise and when they do it's clicks. Sounds like it's only at one point on the wheel revolution. Does braking affect it?
-
When heavy braking the noise does quieten somewhat but is still present, my cv boots are all intact. Its fecking annoying i know that much :embarassed:
-
Have you jacked it up and just spun the wheel? Even better get it on a ramp and drive it, it would be easier to isolate the noise unless its only under load.
Agree with tshirt2k to doing a wheel swap, maybe from left to right, I've had tyres causing random noises but this is a new one!

the casing that holds the bearings in had cracked on my mk4 an you could only hear the noise when driving was no play in it either

Thanks for all the reply's people :smiley: I have a spare hub at home so im just going to change the whole thing rather than replacing one thing and then it being the other :rolleyes:
Once I have my hub off I will strip it down to find out exactly what the problem is.
Watch this space :cool:
-
Apart from the bearing, theres not much to the hub. Can't see that being a cure unless the bearing is fooked. Get brad round to look & listen whilst you move back and forward. Sound like something is warped and rubbing. Rotate the wheel whilst on the jack etc.
-
OK, coming home tonight the noise is now getting louder and a can now feel there is something a miss in the pedals too :shocked:
Everything ive checked up to press seems to be fine, nothing loose or rattly. I did notice that when the car is jacked up the noise is nearly non existant but disc catches the pad on one part of a revolution as if it is warped slightly :undecided:
I dont have the time to take it all apart again before the weekend so it looks as tho im car-less AGAIN!!! until then :angry: :cry: :angry: :sad:

ill come up for a bit tomo after we take the engine craine back..

Nice 1 brother, it real bad now!!!!!!

Do you have long wheel bolts? Or a longer locking wheel bolt?

No mate, standard bolts.
What if a few of my split rim bolts were loose?!??
Me an Kells are gonna have a proper look at it tonite anyhow.
-
anythings possible if its something new and it wasnt like it before. thats why i suggested changing wheels.

Solved, ben is happy again :nerd: :cool:

Happy im not dead ha ha :shocked: :shocked:
Turns out I didn't torque up one of my split rims before I put them on :shocked: :embarassed: :embarassed:
Most of them weren't even hand tight :shocked:
Guess thats what you get for being an eager beever :smiley:
-
I've done it twice, once a couple of weeks ago when I first got the car back on the road, and again the other day after fannying about with the ABS sensor. keep getting images in my head of the hub planting itself into the road, as my wheel rolls off into the distance! :grin: :embarassed:
