wild_one Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I had to drive into a car park who's entrance runs gently downhill. There are the inevitable speed bumps so I decided to coast down at walking speed. I noticed a "scuff, scuff, scuff" noise from the front of the car. Revving the engine didn't change it, or applying the brakes. Don't think I can hear it at speed? Car seems ok, no wheelbearing issues that I can tell. Any ideas? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a warped brake disc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 you need to jack it up and spin each wheel round to try to narrow it down. if you use the standard car jack it might not create same effect as the weight won't be on the suspension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peteven Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 The anti roll bar bushes probably need some grease on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my original post I noticed the noise when coasting down a long tarmac drive into a car park. I have to gently brake as the invevitable speed bumps arrive, the noise appears 'constant' whether I am braking or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
