Yeah, if I went over a small bump it would feel like the car shuffles to the side about an inch or two, nothing huge but definately noticeable. But why be careful taking to a garage? :confused:

Because the wheel bearings are there for a reason lol.

Without them the handling of the car can be sloppy. If they are not already disintegrated, they soon will be, and if you are driving at speed, could lock the wheel up.

Ah right! I thought you were warning me not to take it to a garage out of suspicion or something! :dunce:

Well get this: I was in Cardiff last night when they started playing up and had to drive the 35 miles home to Port Talbot - I reckon they're now damaged enough :disturbd:

Took the afternoon off work to deal with this - it WAS the bearings, darned things were crumbling and totally mangled. Spent hours getting both rear wheels off (decided to change them together while I was at it) and fitted the new ones - car now runs like a dream and handles like it's on rails :)

Happy me today :D

Did you mean this post?
"Mk 6 Escort 16v Si"

Just that I had one of these, and it was a family car, not a "chavmobile".

And if you think I am "picking up on your posts", I apologise - I did not mean to offend.
