Hi !
I have an weird noise at the moment which becomes more noticeable when steering slightly e.g a bend in the road or tightly e.g. a roundabout
There is no vibration through the steering wheel
The noise is hard to explain, it is NOT a knocking noise and neither would I say it was more of a rubbing noise. The noise is related to speed because the noise gets quicker or slower according to my speed.
I know that play in the wheel would indicate a wheel bearing so I will be checking this on the weekend, but a friend suggested whether it could be a CV joint gone ?
However, (A) I dont know the symptoms and (B) how you can check to see if it is gone I wouldnt know.
Does anybody know the symptoms of wheel bearings or CV joints worn and secondly how you can actually check ?
Cheers!
Brett
