RScab Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Sorry 2 here u had probs m8 should b an easy fix tho - driveshaft & possibly new knuckle if its damaged. A Big thanks to those that showed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshlad Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 i was absolutely devastated, glad i didnt have to pull over on the bridge tho i was only five mins away from it. And hopefully ill just have to swap the CV joint and possibly the disc as it has scored badly on the caliper oh and obv new wheel bearings. Wheel bearings were new but when it went for a mot it failed on them being loose as i must of forgot to tighten the hub nut, so from driving it home from mot garage it must have seriously damaged the bearings and thats caused all the heat etc and hence the damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
