Turning knocking at speed

Hi,

My Aircooled camper has developed a knocking that can be felt through the steering wheel at some speeds when moving / turning to the left. Any ideas to know where to start looking? I have had a quick look underneath and all seems to be solid.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi,

Sounds like might be front wheel bearings?

Moving the tyres round sorted it. I replaced the wheel bearings too. They were knackered, looked like they'd been installed badly.

Hope you didn't buy the cheese bearings from GSF :cry: On a positive note you'll still remember how to change them when you do them again in March :ok

Ian :wink:

What Ian says is true, but now they're on save up and get a new proper set to change next year

On another note I bought some rear bearings from GSF too. But the outers dont bloody fit. Is this the norm? I was lucky this time as on inspection the bearings were fine. Where do gents in the know buy their bearings?
