Pomeo · 11-10-2007

Last weekend I had a better look. I do not know how I never noticed it when doing the brakes but Pomeo has just caught the OSF broken spring syndrome.....Ken I dont think its the bearing.I'm sure its the inner cv joint.Gave the gaiter a good squueze and poke about.

Drove to Kilmarnock 2 days ago and the rumbling has dissappeared.No noise yesterday either.

Perhaps just need lubrication...Hope so will monitor as it may be just as well doing it when doing the spring.
