M35 Axis Loudness?

[Artwear]

Hey all! First post on here.

Firstly, everyone thats contributed to this stagea section has done an outstanding job! I had a few other questions that we're quickly answered by having a search.

My main issue and question is about the noise that seems to be coming mainly during rolling deceleration. Under acceleration he car moves well and feels good, though it does sound as if thermo fans/vacume or somthing similar are making a large amount of noise. Then once im off the throttle and the tacho shows the rpm drop, there no deviation in the noise untill I begin braking.

I am in no way a mechanically savey person so all I can assume is its somthing rubbing, dragging and most likely expensive but I dont know where to start.

Secondly, where and who are the best to deal with m35 alts in adelaide?

Any ideas and or help will be greatly appreciated!

I'm probably completely wrong but my first thoughts are front wheel bearings.

Anyone had to replace bearings and have a price in adelaide. Found that afew folk on here have. Might get the local mech to have a look.

Cheers brick.

Drove in to work this morning and after reading afew threads about front bearings starting to go payed more atention to load and cornering.

Not a noise, nothing under about 40kmh regrdless of incline, cornering or acceleration. Few creaks here and there but i assume there just worn bushs and the like.

I did however notice that the tyers (which are new with the purchase) are "Achilles", not a brand ive herd of. What are the chances there a crappy cheap tyre making a butt load of noise? Anybody else ran or running these?

Clutching at (cheaper) straws!

Could well be a noisy tread pattern; cheaper brands often have these kinds of issues.

[Artwear]

Thanks Daleo, thats what im wantting to hear!

Just swung it past the mechanic who told me that the tread pattern is super aggresive and that i could go "f**king 4wding with em" haha.

Ill keep rolling around on them and see how they fair, if the noise increases ill change fronts to rear and see if the same noise follows.

Failing that i guess ill keep afew hundred spare for a possible bearing replacment.

Cheers guys.

Pic of the tread for reference?

I was rolling around on snow tyres which were quite loud although quite effective on the local dirt roads

[Artwear]

Hey iamhe77, here the tread

A set of tyres is worth much more than a couple of front bearings.

While those tyres look ok, I would swap them with a known good set if you can, just to rule them out.

[Artwear]

Yeah i spose that is true Scott, though the bank balance is stretched pretty hard after the purchase.

Ill hit up the mate i purchased it from and swap back the R43 stockies an have a gander at the sound. They were on there for the test drive and i dont recall hearing the racket i do now!

[Artwear]

Right so couldnt get the 34 rims as there sold.

Are there any adelaideians (preferably south of the city) that have stockies or anything that i can borrow for a day or 2? Happy to pay in beer!
