JonnyS Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 Errm, I lost it a bit at Goodwood 2 weeks ago and slid into the barrier - hitting the driver's side front wheel and arch. Amazingly, there was no noticeable damage and I carried on the track day ok. The steering and performance seemed absolutely fine. However, since then I have noticed that the wheel is making squeaking noises which have been slowly getting louder. I was on a track day today and noticed this especially after doing a few laps. I got a bit nervous and decided to stop. Am I right in thinking I might have damaged my bearings? (even though they are only a year old). If so, is it an easy job to fix? (I'm in a De Dion, Super Sprint, Xflow). Jonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 try giving the wheel a few violent tugs. Now try on the other wheel. Is there a difference 🤔 There should be movement as the tyre flexes and the steering will let it move as well but there should be zero mechanical play. Unfortunately changing the bearings really needs a press. HOOPY Membership Number 4136 R706KGU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
