Hi everyone. I've had my ti now for almost 2 years and is my second one. I've been struggling to find the bottom of a fault from the front end of the car. When the car is first driven on a morning there is a knocking noise coming from my O/S/F wheel not the wheel as it happens on another set of wheels. The knock can be felt through the foot well and very slightly through the steering wheel. When driving at 60mph the car drives very well push it on to 70mph the wheel starts to shake (use to be violently) which doesn't really get better or worse if pushed further past 70. These two issues have me pointing towards O/S/F wheel bearing and if not steering rack which is leaking but will have to look further into this. Parts replaced. LCA's Powerflex lollipop bush Gaz shock coilovers 95 m3 strut mounts + plates Front disc's O/S/F was warped badly EBC Red stuff pads Drop links Any help is much appreciated.
