Yeah i checked the wheel nuts. Hmm maybe it is the wheel bearings then. Thought they only made noise on turning but guess not lol. Maybe have to take it in somewhere. Cant think of anything else... hmmm

Had same problem with my penut eye turn out to be the wheel bearing. Front right hand too. Not too hard to change but mine was in pieces and needed a press to get the old one out.

We had the same problem with our Forester after putting a set of rims in it, turned out to be a loose wheel weight!

Hmm im keen to check this loose wheel weight now, the wheel weight for that wheel is on the inside, so maybe....
Im hopefully getting the car checked next week, so if its not the wheel weight ill let everyone know what the issue was.
Nah it has stock rotors

My clutch has started working nice and smooth now, trust that too happen. I bet after i get the car checked the issue will come back lol
- oh the clutch pedal feels like there is a kink in it or something, goes down and up all the way, but half way down it feels like a spring is popping into place or something, hard to describe, the issue comes and goes, some days it feels brand new. If anyone has had a issue like this and fixed it please let me know

Check for playing cards stuck in the spokes.
REXXXED and TROLLEY like this.
