The mechanic who said the bearing was fine, was saying he thought it was brake rub, but I cant see how you could get brake rub only while turning without having a stuffed bearing...

May just get it replaced anyway, hub hasn\'t been removed yet but will probably do that to save myself some cash

*Sigh*, so the mechanic looked at it today, and says he doesn\'t think there is anything wrong with the bearing. So back to square 1, wtf is causing a squeaking when I turn right, not all the time and only when the wheel is loaded?

Wont be out tonight, gotta nurse the wheel bearing until it gets fixed on Monday

I cant even wiggle the wheel but it is starting to make a squeak when I turn right so hopefully I have caught it early enough

Who would be the best to go to to get the front left wheel bearing replaced in my V7? Still tossing up whether to drop it off somewhere for the whole job or take the hub off and just take that down to have the bearing replaced? Cheers

I also live in Churton Park... which of the many Subies around are you guys?

Now that my car is finally fixed I believe I shall pop along to this one ;D

Ill take my $0.36 at the next meet ;D , We didn\'t touch the up-pipe heat shield but replacing the turbo with one without the stripped stud and replacing the bolt in the pitch stopper has cured the noise and made the car 100% smoother in operation!

So just as an update if anyone is interested: After day 1 : , the turbo is finally out after wrestling with multiple heat shields with bolts hidden in inaccessible locations and an oil drain line that was impossible to reach. we managed to not shear any bolts, however a few nuts were rounded off. I think we found the source of the rattling noise, one of the down pipe studs was missing all of its thread and had no nut, the gasket in that area of the flange showed signs of gas escape. So day 2 will be installation of replacement turbo and with the lessons learned from day 1 it should go much smoother!

What length M10x1.25 do I need?

Does anyone know the specific bolt sizes I need to keep spare in case we do shear something? I would like to grab them before the weekend to avoid any delays

As far as I know nothing has been off before, could be fun ;D

Is anyone with experience available to help myself and MercuryFree swap the VF30 in my V7 for another (less broken) VF30? We shall be doing this on Saturday (16/11) at MercuryFree\'s pad in Whitby, I can provide food and beverages and my eternal gratitude for allowing me to drive my car again! Thanks in Advance

So as an addendum to this, just had my Auto-Electrician flatmate take a look at the wiring for the EBC, half the wires (Throttle Position and both Ground wires) are in the wrong wires on the ECU... will fix this up tomorrow and see if it makes any difference
