mozzer1985 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Thanks for the welcome guys. Got home safely after a 3 1/2 hour drive. Lovely car. Typical tho I went out in her this morning and I've got some kind of knocking from the front n/s wheel!! It has got progressively worse and now it sounds like the wheel is going to fall off! The noise is consistent with the revolution of the wheel speed so I'm going for a wheel bearing. Got to wait till Monday to get it on a ramp tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Good news that you got home safely but bad news about the possible bearing issue. Was it a private or dealer/trader sale? Maybe they could fix it under warranty is what I was thinking if it's a dealer/trader sale that's all. Hopefully nothing too serious anyway, ...hub & bearing is about £199 from Clark Motorsport a trader on here fyi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mcgoo Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Welcome to the club. Sorry to hear about your early issues. Hope you get it sorted painlessly and it doesn't dampen your love for the zed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350zedd Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Knocking seems to have come on quick. How was it on the way back home? Check the tightness of the wheel nuts first. I had a wheel pull off due to loose nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a wheel pull off due to loose nuts! Seemed fine all the way back until i was 10 mins from home. Made a sort of rubbing noise when coming to a stop a bit like a brake slightly stuck on. I've done probably about another 30 miles since then and now its gone from that noise to a very loud knock/thudding noise when driving along, braking slightly turning the wheel or anything. Its so loud that i'm not going to move it until i can get it to work on monday. It was a private sale too so no warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Not saying this is what it is but worth checking the banana arm bushes as this is a common failing point on the 350. Happened on mine and would make a knocking noise when going over bumps & occasionally when turning under load. It's a cheaper & easier fix than the wheel bearings if it does turn out to be that although from what you've described so far it sounds more like a bearing issue. Banana arm bush pictured below fyi.
