Why oh why is one of my front wheels making a banging noise as i drive, that gets faster the quicker i drive? There's nothing stuck in it, and it's not falling off or flat.

Cheers in advance

Could be a number of things.

- Driveshaft
- Bushes
- Track rod ends
- Warn/warped brake disc/pads

If it only does it when you turn it could be a cv joint?

If it's making a grinding or grating noise it's bearings...

My tyre was shredding up the inside and i couldn't see it...  :shock: Alignment was all wrong, hence the tyre was getting shafted, and it was 'about to fly off', by all accounts
