Bit Of A Problem

hey guys got a bit of a problem i need some help with

whilst driving lately ive noticed alot of noise coming from the passenger side rear wheel, its like a creaking groaning noise, you can only hear it when driving slowy through carparks etc. Anyway my rotors were due to be changed out so the new ones have been fitted and ive now noticed that when i turn right i can hear the back rotor grinding on something.

So today i jacked the car up and took the wheel off to have a look, the caliper and pads all look fine (the pads are brand new) but it looks like the rotor has just been hitting the inside of the caliper as it has scrape marks on it. While fiddling around i noticed that i can move the whole rotor and hub up and down, its got about 10mil play in it, when the wheel was back on u can put one hand on top and one on the bottom and wiggle it quite easily which is pretty alarming.

anyone got any clues as to wat this could be as my mechanical knowledge is average

cheers Nick :blink:

have you had the tires changed latley? it could even just be off balance. If its the wheel bearings the centre of ur wheel gets hot check it after you go for a drive or jack it up and give the wheel a shake to see if theres any play from the hub

      Ah ok. I seem to be mixing it like everyone else does so not sure what's happening. Will experiment with it more.

      Depends on what you mean by OK. First up, was this done cold or hot? Are they reasonably consistent? Yes, they are reasonably consistent. Could be better. But unless it has had a build at some point, it is a ~30 year old engine and you'd expect some variation. Some of the difference could also be in user technique Is it good compression? Well....not numerically, no. New they were >160 psi. The one at 140 would be fine, in that context. If they were all ~140, you'd be reasonably happy. But the one that is @120 is twice as far down from the original numbers as the one @ 140. But.. (again)... technique can play a part in the absolute magnitude of these numbers, and the quality/state of repair/accuracy of the pressure gauge is not known. In the context of the above, the compression tester that was used last on my car is regularly compared to a known good pressure gauge. Not calibrated, exactly, but compared to a reference instrument that is not used for any other purpose, so cops no abuse. So we can trust the measurements off that tester. But another tester in the same workshop wasn't being compared against the standard and was reading a good 30ish psi lower. When you're reading 100 psu but the engine is really doing 130, you can make bad decisions.

      More likely from tiny bubbles in the filler/putty. Maybe be less aggressive when mixing it. Perhaps invest in a vacuum chamber to pull the air bubbles out?** **I don't know if this is a thing for body filler. I see hardcore epoxy makers degassing their mixed resin on the regular.

      IIRC, the speedo on these is fed from the sensor in/on the snout of the diff.

      They were. I bought the AWD for experimenting but racing it would disqualify or disadvantage me from a few race classes. Def getting a FWD for racing.
