Post by cpozzer »

Ok!!about 5000km ago i started hearing a noise from my right wheel (something like tonk tonk tonk)the faster i went the more was the noise.then it stoped for 6 months and last night it started again.So i said lets get mu car home.today i called a tow truck an took the baby to the doctor.What could it be?the steering is ok.while that noise was around i could feel the right side of the car jumping a little.
How many bucks this time????

Hmm...I had the same problem last year, only though it was a loud whining noise coming from the front right wheel. I took it into my mechanic and he couldn't find anything. He sprayed a heavy duty lubricant into the wheel/axle casing (just behind the mag nuts) and the problem has gone away since then! Could this also be your problem solver?
