Scirocco Register

With front wheels of the ground tnight re-checking everything tight with the wilwood calipers and 280 discs for £50 that i jus fitted on my own... ( smug ) noticed passenger side wheel moves , i had 1 hand on the top an 1 on the bottom and theres a rocking movement. checked the same on drivers side an that is solid , whats its goner cost me this time, and will my wheel fall off at a crucial moment and i die in a ball of flames.

Probably the wheel bearing.

I have a set of the billet Dynalite Wiwoods with 280mm discs, they're very good :)

if it's a wheel bearing, garages will charge anything from £50 upwards, depending on labour rates and how badly they spank you on parts. and yes, if you ignore it you wheel will eventually fall off

It sounds to me like the bottom ball joint or lose top mount as there is play somewhere. When a wheel bearing is shot it usally makes a drowning noise when driving and stops when you turn a corner or grinds when the wheel is spun.

Watch the strut top while waggling wheel top & bottom. If it moves, its something suspension related. If it doesn't the wheel bearings shot.

I'd go for wheel bearing being shot though, have had a front go in the past without it making any noise (or the car was too loud to hear it lol).

Thanks everyone gonna do elimination tests u all suggested as there isnt any whining noise normally indicating a bearing apart from a clicking noise on steering locks at slow speeds.

Clicking noise on full lock usally means the outer CV joint needs replacing.
