Darren-K Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I think im going to need a new set of Alloy wheels for my supe, i noticed a rythmic rubbing sound last week coming from the drivers side rear wheel,i thought something like a toffee wrapper had stuck to the tyre tho.., Anyhow, on the way home from work last nite a fella ran across the road to my window saying,. "excuse me i think theres something wrong with your alloy,its making a rubbing noise" How he could hear it over my exhaust i`ll never know ! as its a realy realy quiet rubbing noise, to hear it i have to coast the car with my head out of the window. Anyhow im having it looked at tomorow,. but if its the worst case scenario and the alloy is screwed wheres the best place to get some new ones from,.. ? or even good clean pre-owned ? Thanks.

RobSheffield Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Id say its more likely to be a rear wheel bearing Failing that Envy or Ibrar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-K Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 cheers fellas,what worries me is that a few weeks ago i went over a reccess in the road,it was a grid and i heard a hell of a crack from underneath - i thought my suspension had just bottomed out - are wheel bearings an expensive job ?

Steve Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 The bearing is around £100 from Nic IIRC, then its just the labour. But can be quite a labour intensive job if nuts have seized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
