Hi folks, as the title suggests I have a 'rotational knock'. Basically when traveling at slow speeds I have knock comeing from the front of my car, it seems to be passenger side, it's there when I accelerate when I brake and when I turn, it kind of sounds like a chugging train, :
the car: audi a3 1.8t Quattro, iv checked for tyre rubbing and found nothing, iv jacked the car up and span the wheel can see the brakes binding in any position on the brake disks, there is slight play if I rock the tyre horizontally as if checking bearings and it is literally 3 mill play, iv bought a set of wheel bearings to fit from tps could this play be busted bearings? Any ideas on what else to check, o and I'm replacing the bearings as a matter of course, it's had lots of work to keep it tip top and stacks of audi service history up to date, the front drop links (stabiliser bars) had recently been replaced front and back due to excesive play, so figured maybe the bearings took a bit of pounding, greatful for any input/ideas on what to check, iv also sourced a transfer box, hopefully the squeal that I have above 20mph+ will then be irradiated,
