bungy 2 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Are you sure they were fitted correctly mate? Sounds like they have not been done up properly. Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 It could be something else. like bottom ball joint or anti-rollbar bush/drop link. Top bearings should last longer than 100miles! Link to post Share on other sites
b19drg 0 Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 just been out to look at the bolts , they seem tight but they spin on the bearing i guess ?? Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Have you tried jacking one side and moving the wheel to see if there is any give or noises like that? Link to post Share on other sites
