Hudson Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hi, I have a noise coming from my front right wheel on my 350z. It sounds like there is something in the tyre tapping as I'm driving (like the noise of a stone/nail) but there isn't. It seams worse when I turn to the left and almost stops when I turn to the right. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 sounds like a wheel bearing to me - jack the car up, wiggle the wheel from side to side and up and down. any play, replace the wheel bearing. Alternatively, how old are your front discs? mine was making a noise I could have sworn was a wheel bearing, turns ou the inside of my discs were really really worn and some rust build up was scuffing on the pads.

Hudson Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Sorry for the late feedback, turns out it was a build-up of rust on the front right disc. Quick clean up with break clearer and all quiet again. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 are the discs still ok? as when mine were scuffing due to rust build up, they were also very worn and as such needed replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah just rust build up, plenty of life left in the discs themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
