Alrite, I just changed my drivers side wheel bearing, it was loose, and was moaning eratically on left turns. now its been quiet for a couple days, Now theres this thumping noise, gets louder and more frequent the faster i go. somedays it will leave me alone, and somedays wont stop thumping, i can feel it in the chassis!! It always stops when i tap the brakes a tiny bit though plz help

wheel balanced? was the bearing pressed in fully? is the tension rod bushing shot? brake pin bolts in?

i pulled the bearing off another 240, but i think its coming from the other side, the wheel was balanced a while ago, i dont think it will have moved, but it goes dead quiet when u hit the brakes a tinnnnnny bit

tried putting the car on jackstands and spinning the wheels to see if anything clunks? while it's on jackstands, can you wiggle the wheel to & fro (i.e. in and out, side to side, or any other direction that is not "normal" for that wheel to go)?

What speed does it start to happen @?

ill lift it up 1st thing 2mm

it starts at actually pretty low speeds, until i stop, then sometimes it completely stops, other times, its pretty damn loud, with my foot on the footrest near the clutch, i can FEEL it within the chassis

my cars weird, it used to make a loud clunk/crack/bang when id have the car go from backwards motion to forward motion, not necesairly transmission related, even in N, or when id stop really fast, id clunk

now its doing this from the passengers side. bt the brakes kill it
