just fitted new collover dampers tuck the car out for a spin and was getting a cluking sound from the pasinger rear of the car. stoped to have a look and the wheel was red hot the wot can be cursing the sound/hot wheel.. thanks peps:Thumbs-up
After translating and spell checking you post I know understand lol
Check if the rear brake caliper is stuck on
Also get the car 4 way alignment done at a proper garage, as camber and toe settings always get thrown out of range when replacing the suspension with coilovers

Oh the irony ;)
hi m8 brake caliper is not suck on and wot can be making the nocking sound and the wheel red hot thanks:yes
if the wheel is getting hot, then it is either the brake sticking on, or maybe the wheel bearing is going?
Jack the rear end up and carefully rock the wheel back and forth check to see if there is any loose play in the wheel.
Check to see if the handbrake is moving freely too
if it is the wheel bearing that has gone will that make a nocking sound thanks...?

Im just not quite sure what language is being used in this thread!
can u help?:xconfused
I have been.....try and do what I have suggested...then come back :)
there is a bit of play in the wheel not much can this be making the knocking sound thanks..
yes
If the wheel bearing is loose then this will cause the wheel to vibrate.
Are your nuts done up?
yes nuts r done up on wheel it only happens wen i go over a bump in the road then i get a big knoc do not no if this helps thanks
and how much is it for a new wheel bearing?
wheel bearings are approx £50-60
Could be you have a duff shock....could also be that the pillow ball joints.
I\'d say it\'s worth checking the pillow ball joints too, mine did this, a bump or hole caused the knocking sound on mine, was the pillow ball, costs about £30 from mazda IIRC but they are a bugger to replace yourself unless you have a press
£30? I doubt it!! More like £50 odd
They are an expensive item...and not one anyone else produces :(
ok thanks giys will have a look tomoz:guinness

hi bobbit how did u diagnose that particular pillow ball thanks m8:Laugh
had a look at rear of car and cannot find one that is loose i have notest thet the boot hach knocks can it be that now i have stifer shocks?
:xconfused:xconfused:xconfused:xconfused:xconfused
I took the wheel off and it had lots of play on the pillow ball. It could be the rear hatch but that usually squeeks not knocks, my used to squeek so i fillted some plastic washers under the rubber stoppers (there\'s 2, one each side and are a black rubber), this raised the stoppers and stopped the squeek, takes 5 mins to do and would at least rule out that being the case bud.
thanks for the info bobbit:guinness
