Fiesta Clicking Noise

Aug 26, 2003 4 Replies

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I took my car in for its MOT, and eventually it passed after the work that needed carried out, a front bush suspension had worn away. Anyway the problem i have now is that when i drove away it seems something is catching on the rear passenger side tyre. It sounds like a chain catching on the tyre, and is just when i pull away as soon as i put it in second and go above 10 mph it stops. This doesn't happen everytime tho.



The Garage said that they were going to swap the front tyres with the back ones, but as soon as i rang them up to complain about the problem, they said they never had time to swap them over.



Its going back in tomorrow, i just thought i would post here before i take it in to see if anyone knows what the problem would be and how much it would cost to fix it, as i dont want to be ripped off.

If you have wheel trims remove them and drive it, also check wheel nut tightness.

Ok cheers will give that a go later on, its going in the garage tomorrow anyway, so hopefully wont be too big a problem

Shouldn't be but before i go i will try tyhat out

Thanks

I took a similar Fiest for an MOT and they did a wheel bearing.

Later I decided to swap the tyres over, and bent a wheel brace complete with stout 3ft extention to undo the nuts on said wheel. Then the fun started...trying to get the wheel off the hub...

Same old story I suppose....
