Nasty vibration - Passenger side
« on: November 12, 2005, 02:05:34 pm »
:(
I now have an audible vibration that is coming from the front passenger side of the golf.  It's starts at about 50km/h all the way to 120.  If I put in the clutch while driving and rev the engine the vibration stays.  It seems to be due to rolling as opposed to engiine.  I rotated the tires as that was the easiest thing to do in the dark.  Drove it.  Still vibrates.  While it was lifted I pulled on top and bottom of the tire.  There was no movement.  Side to side there was a little play on the passenger side.  I think that is a bearing but I need to confirm before I got and start taking the thing apart.    Hopefully someone can confirm this saturday before I leave the city and head back into the stick where there is no internet.  

Thanks for the help with the rad I'll post my work beg. of next week.  
Out!
Greg

Wow.
Been a while since I 've nbeen able to get back here.  I fixed the prob.  It was the bearing.  I was a little cheezed off when I first gaot a look at it and realized I would have to press it out.   :(

Aside from haveing to replace a good tie rod end in the process and being out a hair and a half on my steering it's all good.  :D   That vibrations gone now i hear other things. :cry:
I guess it's time to put in a radio.   :P   Hopefully Santa will make a stop this year.  
Out!
