Wheel Bearing

Hows a good way to tell if your wheel bearings poked..

My front rights making a grinding kinda noise when turning ...intermitent though sometimes there others not.

Sounds like you threw another rod to me :

I had a poked one and under hard braking it would shake like a bitch

i had a v7 in yesterday with complaints of a noise, when i drove it the brake pedal was soft then was good until you turned then went soft like pad knock off, also as you turned left with good lock on the L/H disc would rub on the brembo caliper sounded like worn pads to metal. when lifted to inspect, found thin metal wear marks on inside & outside of disc at opposite ends & good pads.

Put new pads and rotors in like 3000km ago if that.

I'm not 100% sure on the diagnosis, but when mine was gone, I was told that you were able to move it if you took the wheel off, like something was loose. Sorry I can't really explain it any further, but send a message to Ichi Ban - he fixed mine!

yeah thats what mine does. when i was changing my wheels over, i could tilt it while it was off the ground. when i was looking at my tyre with the rims face on, i could tilt it so the bottom of the tyre would come closer to me and the top would go away and vice versa. it wasnt moving that much but its something that needs to be fixed. i just need to do it myself!

just sell it.

or try tightening the hub nut,

a good way to tell if you have a fucked bearing is swerve side to side down the road and load up the bearing to see if its noisey

[Guest boostcut]

I thought i might have a buggered bearing too - when deccelerating my car makes a grinding/whining noise tht seems to come from the front left. But it only happens when in gear. Cant be certain though.

I have a similar noise in my wagon. I thought it was coming from front right hub area, gf said that it sounds like its coming from the rear of the car (diff area) and with some more noise testing, I now agree with her. Jacked the car up and couldn't find anything. Cure for it all, turn the stereo up louder cause I couldn't be bothered getting dirty....

Indeed, i just got two new 6x9" speakers put in today so the problem should soon be solved..
