Tyres are only 3 months old since getting wheels re powdercoated

mis shapen tyres?

thought i had a wheel bearing gone, but rear tyres are like saw blades from cornering too hard :(

:( Sounds similar to what my Ibiza is doing. Bugger.

id say outer cv we fit loads it wont be track rod ends you got to buy a new shaft as cv's arent availible

sounds exactly the same as what my megane had, and it was the wheel bearing. they aren't expensive, its just the labour.

This is just his evaluation in the dark tho.

Jacked it up - Spun wheels and bearings are definetly gone

Was LOTS of play when doing the 12-6 movements and 3-9

not too bad though....could have been worse..

Hope its something as easy/not expensive as that

sounds like wheel bearing to me

cheers 808 - wont get a chance til tomorrow night to have a look now


Sort of costs looking at "ball park figure" for the work to be done


Obviously will vary with what needs doing

fronts are a bit more difficult as you need to remove the suspension, track rod ends, lower ball joints, driveshaft and then take the hub down to a garage/ engineers to get the old bearings pressed out and new ones pressed in.

jack up the car and grab the wheel in the 3 and 9 o clock position and the 12 and 6 o clock position. wiggle it about and see if there is any play.

Prob completely wrong but have you checked to make sure your tracking etc isnt completely fcuked? :boggle:

Right here is one for you lot


Renault Megane Coupe 1.6 1998


Had the car 3 years no problems, until recently.




When the steering wheel is dead centre and doing 50-70mph I get this slight humming/vibrations throughout the ENTIRE car.

Turn to the left and it goes away completly and you can just hear the exhaust.

Turn to the right and the whole car vibrates and drones like hell, more so the further you turn to the right.



Shot in the dark what does everyone think it could be? :boggle:
