Charged VR 0 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Have you had a look at the drivers side suspension to see if anything looks out of place or hanging down? Does the noise change when going round bends or when coasting, And does the noise increase when speed increase's? Link to post Share on other sites
saichy 1 Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 i couldnt see anything that looked out of place when i had my wheels off the weekend. the noise doesnt change if going faster or slowing down but seems to stop around 20mph. im lost with this noise now i hope that its not anything to bad. i know my front bushes are more or less gone would that male the noise?

Charged VR 0 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Doesn't sound like that sort of a noise, Hows the gearbox? Maybe a good idea to raise the car on axle stands and run it, see if you can make/find the noise that way? Link to post Share on other sites
saichy 1 Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 the gearbox is ok never had a problem with it, goes into gear fine never jumps out of gear or anything like that.doesnt sound like a bad idea but im abit worried about having my car on stands and running it, where is the best place to put the stands if i decide to do that? anybody got any pics of where the perfect place to put them?

Charged VR 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I always place the stands on the round section when you look under the car at the front as the sills are usually crushed. just make sure the wheels are clear of the ground, handbrake on and to make 100% sure once off the ground spin the wheels to make sure nothing catching, Let us know how you get on?
