this happened for the first time last night. Took a LH turn from a roundabout onto a motorway slipway quite fast not too fast and there was a rumble vibration from the rear passenger side.

 

Fine for the rest of the journey then when went back to the car and drove off the vibration was back on a left turn. It seemed to go after the car warmed up and havent touched it since. only happened when turning left and noise continued a bit after had straightened up.

 

banging, knocking, vibration sound that was very audible and could feel a slight shake through the steering wheel i think.

 

What is this? wheel bearing? is it a big job to change a rear wheel bearing?

 

Thanks guys. Pretty worried about this as my car has been good as gold recently and i have a big journey coming up next friday.

Sounds more than just a wheel bearing if banging, knocking and vibrating, not sure what though, sure someone will be along soon though

thanks wow. Any ideas guys? to describe the noise better it is like in bugs bunny when he sees the sexy woman rabbit and he drums his big foot of the floor. No messing that is really how i can best describe the sound.

any one who was not on here at the weekend have any idea what is wrong with my car????????

could be a bush mine did same sort of thing

thanks for the responce. Which bush? when you say the same sort of thing did you have the same symptoms as me?

really need some help here guys!!!!! Got a big journey on friday and really want to take the zed instead of my girlfriends boring VW.

 

Can someone advise me whether this is likely to be the bearing/bush and what i can do to check it out or fix it.

 

Im sure there is a few of you who are around who could advise me.........

 

much apreciated.

Try jacking up that wheel and seeing if there is any play in the wheel, could be a few possibilites ie wheel bearing, something to do with hicas ( if its a tt ).

thanks bladebloke. Yes it is a TT with HICAS.

 

i took it into work for the first time this morning to see if the problem was still there. It was and seems to be be constantly present now even in a straight line not just turning left as before. At low speed when i was coming into the work car park someone said my car was sounding like a flatbed truck which is pretty spot on.

 

I had a look underneath breifly and nothing appears to be hanging off.....

 

Going to take it to a garage at lunchtime to find out the problem but any advise from you guys would help a lot because i dont want to see clueless when i go into the garage.

ok been to the garage and one of my exhaust pipes has come away from the centre box which is causing all the bangs and noises. They shook all the wheels and they seemed fine so does this pretty much rule out most suspension problems?
