My 2 month old S3.
Full lock out a junction, in ice, and into the Kirb the other side of the road. Probably about 5mph, but the alloy buckled and the wheel was sat off centre when going straight....... brilliant
So, the guys at a local place (who don’t charge £290 for alignment) had a look around, couldn’t find anything obviously bent and Ee aligned the effected tie rod, which was obviously slightly bent in the impact as the tie and 4 wheel alignment all came back in ok with that. However, new wheels on and the car is making a Ruth mix droning noise staring at 50mph and growing in intensity up to 75mph +. Not gone any faster to test it.
The NS front wheel is no sat almost perfectly at 0 camber! You can see the difference between that and the other side which is at the correct negative camber.
I can’t see anything looking bent. I was going to try and undo the shock to hub bolt and see if that’s been knocked and moved. That’s the only thing I can think as nothing else seems adjustable.
Any ideas? Anyone else had this noise is it the camber?
I’m gutted. :-(
