ok i thought this was the splash guard rattling but probably isn't.
Being the hottest day of the year my car decided to make a thump thump noise that got faster and louder as i sped up. Scared me so pulled over and looked at the car, splash guard loose so fixed that. Went for drive, seems ok, but noise came back...then went away..
This is driving in a straight line, no turning and in when in reverse noise is gone.
So risked a trip for food shopping, noise is faint but car drives ok. Checked play in tyres and mounts Seems ok...
Drove around for a bit and noise disappeared .
but takes them to a machine shop??
Every year the car does this...passes mot and no problems..then it all starts...
Looks like I will need new wheel bearings.
I found a guide on vortex, anyone gave any pointers ?? I assume no one packs/presses their own bearings anymore.... anyone got a good guide/ videos on how to do this??? all going to crapiola on the car...I wish it was only the warm weather but it is not.
The car sometimes pulled to one side when breaking ever so slightly...brakes ok so i think the wheel bearings are in need of replacing although not much play in the wheels when jacked up..
What a money pit this car gas become...
