gday guys and gals.

my front left makes a ticking noise to which i initially put it to a screw in the tyre. tested this theory by putting my stockie back on and the noise dissapeared. drove around with the screw for a while and just got around to removing it the other day. problem is i still have that ticking noise on rough roads and whenver i turn right. im now suspecting it could be the wheel bearing. does anyone know how to test it to see if its stuffed?? or could it be something else

cheers.

Jack the car up, spin the wheel and listen for the noise.

Then remove the wheel and check the hub for up/down play.

Mine made more of a rubbing noise when it was shot (as water had gotten in past the seal). It had no play though.

You can get a new bearing from nissan for not much at all. You will need to get the old one pressed out and the new one installed. I can't give you a definate price as i removed the hub myself and had a mate press the bearing out and install the new one for nothing then reinstalled the hub myself.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust

      Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.

      I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that.

      You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
