    just noticed a couple of issues not to worried

    firstly the brakes are noisey while stopping at low speed sounds like there sticky or somthing

    ticking noise while driving sounds like its coming from tire but cant find anything any ideas its annoying the **** out of me

    and also the steering whell turns a bit 2 the left while letting go probably needs a wheel allignment

    steering wheel would be alignment but ticking in the wheel could be a bearing maybe??? not to sure rip the wheel and hub off and have a look and see if the bearing is stuffed or not

    could also be a stone in the disc vents or between the stone tray and disc, seen that before.

    is that the ticking noise seems 2 be only making it when it reaches about 40-60 k does this help? doesnt sound 2 serious but maybe it is a bearing would this put my wheel allignment off ?

    take the wheel off should be fair easy to remove the hub i think u need to be careful for the brakes and make sure u dont drop the bearings cause it can cause damage lol ive done it a few times haha youll be able to see if the bearing is stuffed or not if the car hasnt done many kms though it shouldnt really be the bearing unless youve hit a curb my mate did that i changed his bearings for him or could just be faulty bearing my boss had a faulty one car only done 80,000 kms but yeah maybe worth a look doubt it would affect wheel alignment but i would get that done before the alignment

    doesnt have any gutter rash or anything like that suggesting its hit somthing from previous owner but seeming though the wheel allignments out it could suggest it has?
