the old favourite thread, vague question from a cheque book mechanic...getting this type of noise when car is moving from passenger side, am thinking wheel area as it seems in time with the rotational aspect of a round object, obviously can hear it well whilst driving with window down past low wall!!!!! Am I right in thinking something like wheel bearings

I am prepared for no/sarcy replies...

 

I had a squeaky kind of rattle in my car, turned out to the rear seat belt clasp!!!!!! was rubbing when going over bumps

 

if only it were this, noise only apparent with windows open

 

well for all of you interested, apparently it was the break pad indicator pins telling me they are close to wearing out, is this true I have never heard of this before?! I had always assumed (wrongly) that an MY99 UK Impreza would have an electronic indicator.

 

Arh, the old wear indicator on the brake pads!!!! atleast it was a simply fix
