Steering Rack

[richw911]

Will the fluid damage the paint on the alloys?? Might be worth checking.

Hopefully not  I will be check/cleaning them most day just in case.

Fook sorry to hear that mate mines currently having 2 new front wheel bearings the noise was doing my nut in only coming from one of them but thought I may aswell do the pair.  Hope you get it sorted and doesnt cost a fortune. 

Cheers fella
My bearings been making a racket over the last week, hopefully be sorted on the weekend

Stupid question steve are you sure it a wheel bearing - check for the "50p shape" wear on the inside edge of your tyres.

Your probably thinking im way off - i also didn't think tyres could cause a noise which sounds so much like a wheel bearing!!

Defo worth a look

Already seen your post Rich
I took the wheels off to check it wasn't the tyres and thats when I saw the leaking steering rack  also the drivers side hub had play in it so its definitely the bearing

Had both my front bearings done yesterday and the noise was coming from the right bearing but it was the left bearing that was fooked. Changed both anyway and its so much better now so smooth.
