(BF Mk2 Turbo)basically, have had a small scraping noise from RHF wheel for a while, heard easier at higher speed or with car on hoist and spinning the wheel. even spinning the rotor and hub with the wheel off you can hear a slight scrape.At first, thought it may have been brake related, so checked over all the brakes and metal to metal contact points, nothing so far.wheel bearing has no movement. ball joints and steering rack / tie rods are sound.can drive the car for day to weeks at a time and you don't notice at all. then on the odd occasion, there is a large scraping / groaning noise from the RHF, but goes away after 10-15 seconds and wont re-appear for a while.I've tried to replicate several times on the same road, same speed etc.its there going up hills, along flats, smooth surfaces, you name it.very intermittent noise, and hard to describe it.anyone come across anything similar? almost at the point of burning it to the groundbit of extra info of setup - 19" wheels over the PBR upgraded brakes with DBA T3 rotors and a set of bendix ultimatesthanks,Mac Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90120-this-just-annoys-me/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds similar to the front on my FG. Replaced hub assembly and I'm all good now.Again on the RHF, LHF is still perfect Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90120-this-just-annoys-me/#findComment-1531446 Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must take left handers at higher speeds Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90120-this-just-annoys-me/#findComment-1531448 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might get a better idea of what it is then?Small rock stuck somewhere?

The really cheap ones are known for not lasting long. The Ford ones are regarded as lasting the longest.Easy to replace - photo guide: http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89016-photo-essay-babf-front-bearing-hub-replacement Edited 21/02/15 05:54 AM by PhilMeUp Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90120-this-just-annoys-me/#findComment-1531500 Share on other sites More sharing options...
