Opinions Anyone

Got a really strange noise on the NS rear (Exige that is)

Its a catching noise that is def wheel speed related.

Def not the wheel catching bodywork and def outboard

Only happens after 10 miles but is then consistent

Took wheel off today and noticed that the NS disc has worn substantially more than the OS - but pad wear on both sides is consistent

There is no play in any of the bushes and the wheel bearing seems aok


Really puzzled on this

I don’t think its a wheelbearing (you can feel them when jacked up)and disc wear has got me puzzled

Yeah I would say bearing too.

Had wheelbearings in the past that have no play and sound ok when wheel is spun whilst on a jack…
Sometimes the only way to tell is to simply change it.

Also I’ve learned to always do both sides cos if you don’t you’ll only have to get yer tools out again in a few weeks !
:wink:

I have had that too, all felt fine but bearing change sorted it.

Old tyres can also sound a bit like a bearing

Don’t listen to the tossers, Simon, I reckon it’s the outer CV joint.

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Lol at Mr P - with insideR information - great to see you today matey :slight_smile:

Yep its the Outer CV

btw on the way home on the A1 a chap in a Nova kindly chucked a banana at the Exige - just couldn’t quite catch it (Banana that is, not the Nova) :slight_smile:

Tosser then??

I knew it was the outer CV all along - same thing happened to me. :tired:

outer CV, mine shattered on fri night :frowning:

Dis you find out what they were off mate

no, not yet. Tony’s going to put me in touch with someone who can rebuild them.

You can do it yourself mate you just need the joint boot and grease

i need the cage and new bearings

Mk1 Focus RS are the way forward. Thats what use and never broke one yet. Mind you my shafts are straidght and not having to deal with massive angles.
