I have changed ALL parts of my front suspension inc new genuine hubs and shocks apart from Lca bushes as it needed a revamp. it still has a noise whilst driving though :( It doesn't matter if it is in gear/out of gear...

    whirring noise

    Ok i have changed the drive shaft bearing and the noise seems to have died down a lot more. I still have what sounds like a wheel bearing noise on certain roads though. I have done a lot of google searches on this and cannot find much apart from problems relating to the gearbox and when the...

    whirring noise

    I think I have found the fault. I think it's the drive shaft bearing making the noise as I ran the dare with the front wheels of the ground and the bearing seems noisy. Has anyone changed these before?

    front wheel play

    hi thanks for the reply. I have done both wheel bearings now and both have slight play. I know the drive shaft nuts are tight and so are the ball joint nuts, everything I have taken off is definitely tight. The play is occurs when my hands rock the wheel at a 7 o'clock and 2 o'clock position. I...

    dipstick

    Hi guys. Just a quick question. The dipstick on my ep3 seems a little stiff when removing it to check the oil. Even more so when it's hot. I can see that it has two o rings on it and assume it due to expansion of these. Has anyone else noticed this? Possibly due to the high compression ratio to...

    jdm wind deflectors

    thanks for the reply. So the jdm ones have been known to fall off before then? I have read that the jdm ones can be a pain to fit if you use the clips? also do they go into the window channels at all or rest on the outside, except for the clips? thanks
