noise coming from front left wheel

[cathal]

there is a kind of banging sound coming from the front left wheel of my bravo it isn't too loud and only happens on ruff surfaces mainly when the wheel is turned. Anyone any ideas what it could be because my the warranty is up soon and if there is something serious up I would like to get it sorted under the warranty

Could be a wheel bearing........

That symptom has occured on mine as well about 3 years ago...a slight banging when turning on rough surface (on the left wheel as well). Until today I have done nothing about it and nothing has gone broke, but some say that the bushes need replacing.
I suggest that you still try to repair it while under warranty but I doubt whether suspension parts are covered under the warranty.

...and if you do take it for a check please send me an email to advise me if it really was caused by the bushes.

got it sorted today!!

took it into the garage yesterday, they told that they had to replace the wishbone, seems to be sorted when i got it back today. They gave me a 94 corsa which had no power steering and vibrated like mad at 55 god was i glad to get it back today,
hopefully that has done the job, all done under guarantee, hope that helps schu,

Re: Re: got it sorted today!!

no I bought it from a second hand garage, they gave me a four month bumber to bumber, by what I have heard its luck I didn't buy from a fiat dealer they seem assholes. My car was cutting out at traffic lights sometimes aswell and I got them to have a look at that, they said it was dirt in the trottle casing but it cut out again on me this morning, any ideas what that could be
