Andy Lef Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 UpdatedJust had the wheel of and wheel bearings are OK. Had another look at suspension and it looks like the slack is because of wear in the Front offside lower wishbone bearing.Any thoughts on where I can get a replacement bearing from ? many thanks. Just noticed some slight movement in the offside front wheel; almost as if the wheel bolts were lose - but they're not.Movement is no more than a couple of mm but is noticeable. Any thoughts for what the potential issue might be?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted May 22, 2017 Member Share Posted May 22, 2017 The same one that was squeaking? Have you had a chance to jack it up and check the play?Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Probably wheel bearing needs adjusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADMALC Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Get an assistant to hold the brake pedal down and see if the movement is eradicated. If it goes then wheel bearing most likely. If not check all suspension bolts are tight and check the wishbone joints for movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Lef Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Jonathan, Wrighpayne and MADMALCThank you all for the ideas.Jonathan it is the squeaky wheel, though that had stopped on my run home last night - i put it down to a stone, perhaps somewhat prematurely!Assistant identified and we'll look at it at lunchtime to close down on the problem.Update will follow.

John Vine Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Any thoughts on where I can get a replacement bearing from ?Quite a bit of info here. The bearing is an NMB Spherical ABWT10. Several sources, including CC themselves.JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Lef Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Jonathanthanks for the tip on the bearings. Got some.Ref the other side it was an additional problem/concern but I think I may have been being a hypochondriac on behalf of the car - all actually seems well. Tightened up the wheel bearings anyway. when i get the bearings through if there are still issues, I'll put out another callThanks for your help.
