FTO AUSTRALIA

No thrust bearing in autos

maybe its one of pulleys bearings by sound of it mate

oh crap... i dont like the sounds of "one of" lol
yeah i guess I'm probably going have to get a mechanic to look at it

Sorry, didn't realise it was auto.

I'm in the exact same spot.
Had the problem for a year.

I cancelled out engine pulleys as it doesn't do it unless driving.
I had the steering rack checked, wheels replaced, tyres replaced, wheel bearings replaced, pads replaced, rotors replaced, cvs rebuilt.

And STILL that F'ing sound is there.
sh*ts me as I don't drive the car for the same reason. Don't want *Big ba the boom*.

My last 2 lines of thought were power steering pump *kinda doubt*

or diff.

And joy, we have a 5spd tip. :rolls:

Kinda weird the sounds on the drivers side... gearbox is on the passenger..............

well... i think mine is on the engine side as opposed to on the wheel end... as it only does it at about 2300-2400RPM when in gear, I dont think it does it in N, and i havent been brave enough in reverse to get up to those RPMs yet lol. and since it's coming from the driver side, so it cant be the auto box....
so if it only does it under load at one specific RPM range.... what are the chances of it just being a harmonic noise and nothing to worry about and nothing can be done?

actually.... this may be a stupid question... but... are any extra pulleys or belts engaged at about 2300RPM and/or when in gear?

nah they all run all the time just depends on the load they have on them, eg if a/c on or steering wheels on spot or when revving, i'd still be looking over pullys

Ill take a look at the diy day mate.

thanks simon

Is it doing it at certain angles when you turn or just on the straight?

My front left hub behind the brake disc has warped and scrapes off the disc when i turn right a certain speeds.

I need to get that sorted out...
