I have had recently fitted a o/s front wheel bearing and at same time had whiteline solid drop links at front fitted.this was about 2 months ago and sinse then when reversing off my drive with full lock to the left i get a nasty horrible grinding noise from that same o/s front wheel area,only problem the guy who fitted it had was a snapped bolt in brembo calliper which had to be retapped again (cant see this causing any probs tho) before i get the usual"take it back to him" or go to a specialist lol i just want any thoughts on this please,it does'nt do it with lock on full to the right and only when reversing,also have a whiring noise when driving now and then that changes with speed slower and faster,
seems o/s front wheel again defo but like i say now and then only.any thoughts please thanks.

its a possibility that the wheel bearing may have been overtightened and its fooked it again,happened to my brothers st185 celica.

I forgot to mention 99greenwagon that he said it had slight oval to hub but wasnt that bad so i beleived it was within the limit as im no wheel bearing engineer,lol.what would be best plan do you think, remove it replace bearing and hub ? Bet it would be pricey?

take it to a decent specialist and pay once......otherwise it will be a long pain in the ****,not sure how good your garage is?

atleast they will identify the problem,fix it,charge you,job done once and done right,and touch wood all is well with no more hassle.
