bcstudent 0 Posted April 14, 2006 I'd be looking in the direction of either the wishbone rear bush or the two anti-roll bar bushes on that side. Get under the car with a big levering bar and pull some stuff about! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 14, 2006 Have a loot at the outer edge of the disc for signs of it rubbing on the caliper carrier. Worn bearings cause the hub to move when cornering but as you've done the bearings, shouldn't be the case, but there may be a chance the bearing wasn't pressed in far enough? Not sure.... sounds strange, hope you sort it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toad 0 Posted April 14, 2006 did you put plenty of copper grease on the relavent areas and check the caliper and pads could slide back and forth properly? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
