i know it aint a corsa but... as many of you will know a got a ford escort estate(go ahead laugh away) anyway, think my wheel bearing is on its way out. i only 'think' this cos i'm not too clued up on cars but when i'm driving and for instance i dont move the steering wheel it steers left and noise. if i straightn up then i get the feeling the wheels gonna come off! my left wheel also moves whilst driving resulting in me all over the road. just started doin this yesterday! and i aint driven it since. if it is the wheel bearing, is it expensive and also should i get both sides done? even tho the other side seems ok for now! oh BTW due for an MOT in March!

tyres are brand new nd checked yesterday, no tacking i think is out it does wobble a bit when driving, tighten up bolts??? what ones? ilike i said its had new tyres so i've tightened up the wheel nuts if thats what ya mean! the randomness of my wheel shuffling when driving i was told could be one of the bushes need replacing! poxy fords. never again!!!!!
