Hey guys, in the last few days I have noticed a clunking noise coming from my rear left. Im not 100% but it sounds like its coming from around the wheel area so Im wondering if perhaps the shock absorber is dieing? Can't say that ive noticed any loss in handling feel but thats not saying much. Its whenever I go over any bumps I can hear it and It seems to be getting worse each day. What are the symptons of a stuffed wheel bearing?

I tried searching for symptons of a worn shock and the few topics I read seem to have me thinking thats the problem.

Oh well if its that then its a good excuse to finally get SK's suspension package. Better get saving.

Theres no where around me at the moment where I can get that done, Im up the coast at the moment and am this afternoon doing a 5 1/2 hour drive home. If its just the shock im not too concerned but I would hope the wheel isn't going to like....fall off mid drive

To check the shocker, simply "bounce" the corner of the car. The car should stop bouncing within about 1.5 bounces.

Have you checked the wheels nuts?

Grab the wheel and try and shake it - up / down, side to side. You might need to jack the car to check fully.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
