Technical a bit loud

[sammiboo]

i have noticed recently that my car seems to be getting really noisey driving on the motorway, i know one of the wheel bearings need replacing (in the midst of being sorted) and the tracking is slightly out - getting that done tomorrow.

would this be the cause of the noisey driving or is there something else, at 70 it sounds really noisey like i was driving a lot faster where it used to be really quiet

you cant set tracking propper with a nackered wheel bearing.

 

[sammiboo]

er ok - will get that done after the bearing

 

[Stu DemonD]

The noise will be there - only if it stops should you panic, as the wheel falls off

 

[jamie86]

Yeah the noise will most likely be the bearing.

You should hear the noise mine makes with two knackered rear bearings. Lol

 

[smurfhead]

definately wheel bearing. my old cinq did the same. sounded like it was doing one huge long fart for whatever period I was over 50mph.

Bearings. Both front hub bearings dried out on the Uno. We had to shout higher and higher at each other when speed increased. Maybe you want to do both, if they have been on the car the same period of time.

Sammi, copied my reply from FCCUK

The £19 bearings will probably be for the fronts. The Rear one's are a complete hub assembly according to the Fiat Parts CD, Although you should know that by now sammi

...I concur with Brickfoot
Cos I haven't got a clue.

 

[sammiboo]

yeah the front ones are cheaper - i was quoted today between £80 - £90 for the bearing - i called http://www.jbscarspares.com/ and they got me one for £49.93, fanastic and their shop specialises in italian car stuff from parts, performance tuning etc - was well impressed with them

sorted now see above link

am going to take it t be laser aligned rather than tracked as stu suggested it to me

 

[arc]

aye - but it was reccomended - i had the bravo tracked a while ago but not have anything done to the coop eventhough it does it - along with a new tyre

 

[Stu DemonD]

Sammi,

You found any places near you that do it? And any idea of the cost - it does cost slightly more than normal tracking, iirc.

 

[sammiboo]

just looking a yell.com to see if anyone round here does it - ATS??? possibly???
