Noisy front wheel & clattering steering

Post by Strawhead »

Fairly new to owning a T25, we have got a viking and have had it since February. recently we have got a nasty "ticking" noise from the front off side wheel, it seems to be gradually getting worse (not a stone in tyre!!)

any thoughts?

also whilst driving along a rough road last weekend whilst camping the steering has assumed a really clattery sound when hitting bumps, and the steering feels a bit floaty on roundabouts

any thoughts on what i should look for tomorrow when i pull the front wheels off

very many thanks

Andy
