Hi all

UPDATE: Now I can also feel it in the steering wheel and floor at full lock. Really gotta get this fixed!

Any ideas on this issue? Listen closely... Most profound when brakes/car is hot and at full lock. Car is RWD.

Tried without fixing the problem:
Changing the wheel bearings
Replaced brake pads
Re-tightening wheel bolts to spec (130Nm)

Could be the upper strut mount.

Here another video.

Is your brakepads worn down? Might used to make a ticking/clicking noise at low speeds because the brakepads were very worn down, so it was 'loose' rattling around...if that makes sense....sound were gone when I changed them out.

Thanks for the idea. I have tried two different sets of pads and they both have plenty left. Didn't make any difference.

Strut mount bearing? is this car x-drive?

Why do you think that? I tried Googling this but nothing came up...

It has a bearing that is suppose to allow the strut to pivot while moving

I don't think its the top mount thrust bearing since your car only makes noise while moving. I would check end links to make sure they're properly torqued. Also check that the bracket that holds the hoses and sensor wires to the strut/upright are secured in the right position and not coming into contact with anything while at full lock.

To further diagnose, I'd also recommend getting the car in the air with the wheel at full lock. Spin the wheel to see if there's any obstructions keeping in mind your wheel will be at full droop so you'll need to make an educated guess to where the position would be if the car were loaded on the ground.

Thanks for the idea. I'll check the joints for play but I highly doubt it is that. I dont feel anything while driving. No clunking/clicking going on uneven roads or speed bumps. Also dont feel anything in the video - just the noise.

Have you changed your front springs? That sounds like a common problem when swapped with under torquing.

All stock suspension

Is there a chance it could be this?

So what was the cause ? Same sound we suspect bearing.

Hi

A while back but dont think I ever found the route cause. Changing the front wheel bearings did not help as I recall. It just disappeard...nice when the car fixes itself
