Few Problems - VTS

[Frosty]

My mate has a vts and he hit a kerb quite fast... Replaced the bottom suspension arm and the wheel sat perfect and drove fine

But as of late when you steer left there is a noise like a tyre is rubbing on something but no marks to the tyre?, Like maybe the wheel is buckeled? Or the brakes have been damaged?

Also the rear of his car is really rattly/bangy if that makes sense? Sounds like the bushes are fucked? Would it be worth polybushing it?

Any help appreciated

sounds like something to do with the drive shaft mate, check it all and make sure your not loosing oil gearbox end.

No gearbox oil leaking lol

Was the wheel bearing changed, or even the complete suspension strut as that could be bent!

And the rear axle, banging etc, could 1 of a few things, check the arb end plates are still bolted down! If they are, the beam bearings are shot, and basically if driven too much the bearings will score the main part of the axle, meaning no point rebearing the beam as its scrap! Buy a new axle if thats what it is!

if he hit the kerd really hard, you could have bent a few things, not just the wishbone.
the arb bar could be bent, as could your steering arms.

the rear sounds like it could be the arb loose in the beam, this normally sounds like glass milk bottle chinking together.

knocking would be your bushes, its defo worth poly bushing.

jack the rear of the car up and feel for play in the rear wheels, hand brake off, hands at the 12 an 6 oclock position and feel for play by pushing hands back and forth, same at the 9 and 3 oclock position. if there is play there, you will feel it and it will be a shot bearing in your trailing arm.

do the same with the front wheels, if you have play there, you have a buggered wheel bearing ;)

hope that helps
