Loud Noise/Turning suspension

[Rob.]

Well my car has a very loud nose when ever i drive it its coming from the front end ( I THINK its the wheel bearing) cus when i turn right it stop making a nose but when i got strate or turn left it makes a loud nose but because theres no play on the wheel i just had a nose around to see if any thing else was wrong and i noticed when i turn the wheel the hole suspension moves even the nut on the top when i top the bonnet up ?? this might be normal but don't no so i was wondering is this normal

yeah the top mount turning is normal, could be a bearing or a driveshaft, you need to explain the noise a bit more becasue it could be anything.

Is the noise affected more by engine speed or road speed?
is it louder on the power or when you lift off?
have you jacked the car up and checked the wheel without weight on it?
have you spun the wheel up inthe air to listen for any rumbling
Are any of the wheel arch liners rubbing/falling off?

ok here we go lol
none of the arch liners rub. its happend with 2 diffrent sets of wheels
the noise is really loud all the time bit louder at speeds. and its starting to shake the car a bit
1st i jacked up the left side and started using the engine power to turn the wheel no noise
then i jacked up the right side and started using the engine power and that had loud noise
and that side was shaking more then the left


hope this helps mate

sounds like the bearing, but if its as bad as you say there should be some play if you wobble the wheel by hand (car in air) and should rumble when you spin the wheel by hand.

has it suddenly started doing it or has it got worse and worse?

I wouldnt driver the car anywhere, sounds really bad, is the wheel bolted on tight?

 

[Rob.]

wheels on tight. and its been getting much worse and worse and there no play what so ever. and it does make a rumble when i turn it

 

[tim124]

yeah that will be the wheel bearing. If you do take it somewhere drive very very carefully, sounds quite far gone.

why is there no play on the wheel :S
