djb55 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Just on right hand bends, so I assume its something that is taking the weight and the pressure on the near side. As a start, I would swap the offside wheels front and back with the nearside wheels front and back and see if the noise swaps. If it its the same then you can rule out tyres/wheels. I suppose wheel bearing(s) would be the next thing to look at ? Edited November 5, 2013 by djb55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're different widths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxeh Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Hi, I have the exact same problem with my car, I just wondered if you managed to locate the problem? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcotix Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I used to have some juddering when turning left on my Zed, turned out my tyres were very worn on the inner side. I replaced the tyres and it's been fine since then ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEXSTAR Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 hi coxeh had missed your comment no luck yet sorting it was hoping for a few answers along the same lines before spending out on replacement parts. new tyres have never made a difference to the problem on mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Banana arms, worn track rod ends, dodgy steering pump (if occuiring only on full lock), Fecked spring (only clunking when loaded during corners), fecked bushes. All or any of the above. Honestly, you need to get the car jacked up, and the wheel off. See if there is any excess play in any components, or if anything is obviously broken. If you don't feel confident in doing that, then take it to a local garage who knows 350's. Where are you based, and someone will recommend somewhere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
