Turning and whuuring sound!

[bimonslick 0]

Hi all, another problem! When turning right all ok, however when turning left i get a high pitched whuuring sound! Any ideas? Wheel bearing perhaps?

 

Also when i brake it pulls to the right and i am thinking that perhaps there is a problem with one of the brake calipers as had same sort of problem on my mini.

 

Any info cheers

sounds like a wheel bearing to me! luckily not too bad to sort out.

 

re:pulling to the right, does it only do it when your braking?

Cheers for the info. As for the pulling to the right i think its mostly when braking but will check later.

could be a braking imbalance i.e. caliper issue.

 

ditto wheel bearing for the noise though.

Ok! Strange! The whurring sound was to do with the heater! Changed the setting and due to it not blowing so hard it was quieter and so turned off the heater and no sound.... strange.

 

Planning on checking the brake calipers this weekend so will keep you all posted. Also been told that one of my wheels is almost had it. So will be looking for some new wheels soon.

you could use the spare wheel you know :nuts: something major will break on your car soon enough and you'll really wish you hadn't bought new wheels!
