knocking noise
« on: 12 May 2012, 20:30 »
hi just getting my golf sorted,put a missing pipe on my dump valve so runs better now
new wishbones,longer wheel bolts as the old ones went in bout 5 cm lol, tyres dont rub anymore,found out my car is on coilovers,
just got a rumbling,knocking sound on nears side front wheel, ruled out wheel bearing,no obvious leaks on drive shaft, tracking needs doing cud it be that? on the ramp the wheel looks buckled cud it be this,
sorry im a newbie, although there is work to be done.i love this car. thanks

tracking dosnt make any noise  ,just for wheel alignment , could be out of shape tyres or because your wheel buckled swap wheels front to back and see if noise is still there or as moved to the rear if then the noise comes from rear then you know its tyre or wheel  :smiley:
