Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily - Part1

[Evoman]

if it starts in the steering my logic would be that its from the front

[volvosneverdie]

im going with rack.

[Evoman]

rack of ribs? Think i'll join you!

[SteveP]

Does it occur if you're going in a straight line? Any difference when you turn left/right? Usually if it's a wheel bearing going it'd make more of a rumble one way or the other. Sure it isn't tyres needing balancing or a wheel weight fell off?

[Nimminz]

cheers for the replies!

I know my rear wheel bearing is on the way out. It rumbles round corners. This problem has been existant since i got the car, long before the wheel bearing started making noises. Yep happens in straight line and corners, seems purely based on speed. have run 2 sets of wheels and multiple tyres, all balanced etc. problem has been constant throughout.

Quick flick through the haynes and i think i should check the 'steering gear' which might be loose?
It does feel quite wierd the steering, always thourght it was normal for a 300, like you turn in, then the body follows? or like the steering changes mid corner?
I'm not a mechanic and i've not driven many cars, plenty of landrovers and a few modern things, so please excuse me if i'm sounding a tad daft

[Evoman]

Well if it drove like a landrover there would be something wrong, if it drove like a modern car, id keep it quiet

[Nimminz]

haha,if it drove like a landrover i would never hav bourght it, wanted summit faster than me pug 206. Been driving that recently and its horrible. PAS pump is buggered on that though

[Evoman]

When i drive other cars it remind me why i bought a 360, although i did drive a 190e today 2.6, so rapid on kick down got *10 mph out of it with n stress whatsoever on a little back road

[Nimminz]

Tuesday saw the newest mod to the car ... a new exhaust. I took it to my last welding lesson and fitted it as soon as i'd done it. Will get some pics off me phone of the welds etc. Please don't be too harsh, the old box was knackered and this was very cheap lol
