Okay, so this morning, going around a roundabout my my left front wheel makes a horrible crunching type noise.

Now she:

1. Has a speed dependent whining coming from the left wheel area

2. Makes loud crashing noises going over speedhumps at low speeds

3. Makes a horrible scraping noise when turning right

Any idea what might have broken?

So far the suggestions i've had have been a wheel bearing going, or the shock collapsing.

Anyone had this before?

i started to get these noises on my way home from workd a few weeks ago, stopped at a servo and all i could see was that one nut looked to be a little loose (i was already missing one due to a stripped stud) thought i would drive the 2 or 3k's home and fix it there, by the time i got home i was down to 2 loose wheel nuts.

My problem was that my wheels were the wrong offset for my car and were using spacers, the nuts only grabbed by about 5mm, this probably is not your problem but if your wheel nuts have come loose it will be making the same noises.

Got new wheels the day after this happened as can be seen in the pic below.

I'm guessing that you didn't have bolt on spacers.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
