movement in the wheel
movement in the wheel
near side front wheel moves when braking (its not wheel bearing as the wheel doesnt move from side to side) checked the trailing arms thats tight
any other things it maybe?

Re: movement in the wheel
which way does it move?
Re: movement in the wheel
Does it move or are you just getting tramline? (Pulls to left or right). It's a common problem with wide wheels, the only sure way to know is to fit a standard sized rim and go for a test drive
Re: movement in the wheel
when braking the wheel moves back and forth in the arch itself as if the strut moves
Re: movement in the wheel
fucked ball joint?
Re: movement in the wheel
Could be, or wheel bearing. Jack the car up and wobble the wheel, see where the movement is going to and where it stops. First thing to check is the balljoint as evo said - if nothing is moving in this area but the wheel is it's likely a wheel bearing problem.
Re: movement in the wheel
Is the top mount intact? Are the strut bolts done up tight, as well as the damper nut? Otherwise it'll most likely be whats been previously said. Wheel bearing or ball joint. Just waggle everything!

Re: movement in the wheel
if its the wheelbearing it'll also make a lovely rubbling noise. But the bearing might not the only source.
Re: movement in the wheel
This realistically could be anything, there are a lot of moving parts down there.
My money is on the cotton reel bush between the wishbone and the subframe, that can let a lot of things get out of alignment, but the best way is to take the strut off and have a wiggle of everything.

Re: movement in the wheel
Get a bar in your suspension components, feel for any excessive movement. Also shake wheel from 3/9o'clock position, if there's excessive movement could be top mount/wheel bearing. Get someone to push the brakes while you do it, if it stops then it'll be your wheel bearing, also check all steering linkages for damage etc.
Re: movement in the wheel
ye i think im going to have to go over everything, wheel bearing doesnt make any noise (that i can hear over f7p poooowwwwar)
will look over everything stated thanks boys
