Hi all,
question number 2
I`ve got an M reg Astra that has been making a noise
from what seems like the front right side for a few months now. I took it
in to a local garage and drove a mechanic round in it with me. We both
agreed where the noise was coming from, but when they had a look in the
garage they couldn`t be sure exactly where the noise was coming from - it
could be either the bearing or the CV joint. They said to go away and keep
driving it until the noise became more noticible. About 3000-4000 miles
later the noise has started being more noticible.
Around 25-40 mph there is a light grinding noise, and when turned left at
speed (i.e. on motorway intersection slip roads, M6 to M62 for example) the
noise becomes louder. The car is still handling fine, but the garage I
normaly use isn`t answering their phone at the moment. Does this sound like
the bearing or the CV joint? And roughly what would you expect to pay for
this job to be done in a garage, and how long would it likely take? A lot
of questions I know, but i`m looking for rough prices and times so I can
figure out when to try and fit it into the schedule to be done.
Thanks all for your help!
