  1. Ok hopefully someone has an idea, because l cant work it out and it is really irritating! Right, for the last week or so l have had an intermittent rotational squeak from my front drivers side wheel area. It sounds like rubber rubbing on something, however having had a look nothing seems to be touching. Tyre is clear of the shock, nothing is touching the CV boot and there is no sign of wear on either. The squeak seems to follow the rotation of my wheel longer and further between when slowing and becoming sharper and faster when speeding up. It gets worse when turning left or when l put my foot
  2. I fitted fk's to mine about a month ago buddy and they are pretty good, it took about an hour and a half to do all 4 (coilovers on the front shocks and springs on the back) and that’s without an airgun. if your taking you standards off you might want to get a cheap pair of spring compressors if l remember right when l took the originals off (a while ago) it made it a hell of a lot easier.
  3. struck by lightening!!! hahahahaha gotta love it
  4. Another one if anyone is going to it Wheels Day 2012 http://www.surreystreetrodders.com/
  5. There are 3 small bolts that hold the balljoint to the arm, if you loosen these you are able to adjust, slightly the direction of your wheel, like really minor tracking l guess. When your friend changed the bearing if the wheel wasn’t straight when he did those 3 bolts back up this may cause your steering wheel to be off centre. This may also be able to cause some vibration if the wheels are fighting each other for grip perhaps but lm not sure :-/ I would also check your hub nut & wheel nuts are still tight just to be on the safe side lol Sorry a bit long winded but hopefully it will he
  6. uh right fair enough dude at least that gives you somewhere to start, hopefully that sorts it

  8. My guess would be wheel bearing or outer CV joint buddy, however l am not an expert lol but both bits can be changed DIY so shouldnt be too costly

  10. Yup crappy tax budget! odd you should mention that because it would seem l need to stop and get some tobacco tonight lol Uh that sucks dude! hopefully they can get it sorted it always sucks when you wait around for hours to see someone and you get the "take these Ibuprofen and if its not better in 2 days come back" nonsense lol Time for some new boots then dude
