elfman Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Hi all, I've had the usual knocking sounds for a few months now on my front drivers suspension, changed the droplinks and compression arm bushes. but They will hopfully be getting sorted when I get time to get a chassis ear on the car. Anyway, I don’t think the next noise is related but it could be. Whne I’m doing motor way driving (in general) no and again I’ll get a kind of whering noise, kinda something is grinding a little, change direction and it’ll go, now only thing I could think that would be is the wheel bearing? Any advice? Getting a tad sick of repairing it now hahaha! Quote
Keyser Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 A grinding noise that goes when you change direction sounds like bearings to me? Dont think it would be the knock though that sounds more like drop links or bannana arms. Quote

Get it jacked up and check for play and noise form the hubs. Alex. Quote
elfman Posted October 11, 2011 Author Posted October 11, 2011 how much would a replacement be alex, and is it easy to change? Quote
rabbitstew Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Does the zed have like a dust guard behind the brake discs? On some of my cars ive had the same problem and its been the dust guard catching the disc - or some rust caught between the 2. Simply bending the guard away slightly fixed the problem. Quote
