Hi all, there is an unusual noise coming from the back of the car
I don't think it is the bearings as I swapped the left hand side today
and the right hand side got changed a few hundred mile ago.

Does anyone know what else could be causing this noise?

Will jack the car up tommorrow just to make sure there isn't any play in the bearings.

Cheers

did u put the wheels back on?

what sort of noise? a bang? a whine??

Lol I did yes ha. I'd say it's more of a banging knocking noise.

Cheers

exhaust hittin of petrol tank or axle ??

this might help

more den likely the bearing if not the exhaust

Wouldn't of thought it will be the bearing .. as these have only just been replaced ?

Will check the exhaust .. i had a quick look under it and it didnt seem to be touching .. but will have a better look.

Don't know if this is a coincidence .. but since i jet washed it the other day ... the noise came that night.

Cheers.

When the bearings were done I hope the centre caps were replaced. If not the bearings will wear out very quickly.

Yep both centre caps were put back on ... thats the reason they collapsed When i baught the car there wernt any on !

lol yeh i know i did that 2 mine as well. didnt think something so small could make such a difference. And yeh check your exhaust or possibly your brakes might be catching slightly. Does it feel like it looses power when it rubs? if so it is definitely something to do with your wheels catching somehow so check brakes/bearings etc

It doesn't seem like its loosing power .. always seems to pull nicely. Will check my exhaust. It does sound more like a knocking/banging noise. And when my bearings were going, it didn't make the same noise.

Cheers.
