Stoney871 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Warped discs or worn bushes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyhowarth Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 After researching a little I thought it may have been wheel bearings. Bit tbh I'm not a mechanic and thought people on here would have a lot more knowledge. I have recently had new tires and was told that the discs were fine? Is it an expensive job? Bushes that is?

Stoney871 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Bushes aren't too bad for price tbh. You may also want to get the ball joints between the hubs and wishbones checked for play. Easiest way to do it yourself is jack up each corner in turn and pull/push the wheel at 9 and 3 position then 6 and 12 position, any balljoint play will be easily noticeable. http://www.wikihow.com/Check-Ball-Joints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 A run out check on the hubs and discs would identify any problems with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
