Anyway I sprayed some WD40 and its seems to be quiet again ,but i guess it will come back......Has anyone had this problem and is it best to get the new bearing from Probe store.....
On a lighter note just got back from visiting the Eifal regeion in Germany, half way between the nurburgring and the Mosel. I haven't been to Germany for a long time and man are their roads top class, even the really minor roads in the forest, very smooth and they seem to use fine grade asphalt No Pot holes, and we noticed that when they dig up the road they don't just fill the bit that was was dug up, they resurface the whole road. So whats our excuse the roads around here are appalling apparently the hard winter and too much salt, yea right...
PS Didn't see one 6 the whole time,from home to the tunnel, France , Belgium, Germany and back....... whats happening are they all dieing!!!!!!
Hi Mate

This is a common problem with our cars, the bearings get wet and full of dirt. Mine has done it for years, but it will not effect the steering in any way, so I thought I would just leave it until I need to get the strut out. Probestore sells all the bits.
