A rumble in my ride
Posted: Mon Apr 10, 2006 2:17 pm
Hi All,
I've got an '83 SS-80 (Hatch), and I'm experiencing an annoying rumbling type sound when driving. Its especially annnoying around 80kph. I first thought that it would be the diff or something starting to give up, but now I suspect that it might just be a wheel bearing - as the noise dies down or stops while I turn to the left. Is there a good way of diagnosing this? Could it also be a CV Joint (inner or outer), but they usually just click while turning don't they?
Also, does anyone reading this from NZ (esp. Auckland) know of any good workshops that are knowledgable in the ways of the ancient Suzuki? Seems to be a lot more interest in them in Aussie - probably mainly due to the MightyBoy.
Also would just like to say that the F8B rules. I can't beleive how much fun this car is to drive. It reaches the end of the clock (150kph) without any complaints - wouldn't like to crash it tho...
Cheers!
