leroyburrell 0 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 my vr has developed a knocking noise coming from the front wheels, it seems to be worse when braking and pulling away then delevopes into a sort of rumbling sound when moving. it has been lowered and has 17" wheels fitted but can't see any sign of rubbing, a mechanic says the barings are fine, any ideas?cheers leon Link to post Share on other sites
Ferrari VR6 0 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I'd get a decent mechanic to check all the front bushes for wear. I recently had my rear bushes swapped, although they looked ok the car handled like a pig on sh*t 8) When the bushes were removed they were shot to pieces, the car handles so much better now, so, apart from the bearings and the bushes and making sure everything is tight, i don't know of anything else it could be, i would get it checked out soon tho mate...

acf8181 0 Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 sounds like a snapped anti roll bar link to me....i broke both mine within a month of owning my vr6. very pricey from vw, i got donated some gsf ones from a mate and didnt think they'd last but they have so far!
