[barffy]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

just fitted vtr alloys to my saxo 1.1 sx and now i have an intermittent problem of when i drive slowly i seem to get a knocking noise coming from the front wheels and when braking the pedal sort of pulses (?)

no idea what this could be so any help or advice is appreciated

I had a similar issue which has just been sorted by having my tracking done, dont know if that helps?

i didnt think vtr wheels went on 1.1's... 3 stud and 4 stud?

could be the wheel bearings mate

well i think ill get the tracking done and see whats what. it needed doing on the standard wheels anyway i was getting some wheel wobble at motorway speeds anyway, i imagine the wider tyres may be something to do with it. The vtr wheels went straight on, apparently 4 stud 1.1 saxo's are rare?

to be honest i was expecting to have brought a 3 stud one too. looks sexy anyway :) not bad for 100 smakers :)http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/barffys/vtr.jpg
