Hi All,

I appreciate this isn't a Fiesta related issue, but I imagine the cause is fairly generic to any car.

I have recently run through and changed discs and pads all round on the Mondeo as it had been stood for about 6 months and were rusted solid, in order to get a fresh MOT. I took her round the block a few times to test them out and all was well. I took her in for the MOT and there was slight play in the NSR wheel bearing so I replaced it with a new hub.

On the way to the MOT everything was fine, but coming back there was the odd knock noise from the NSR which I just associated this with the wheel bearing.

However after changing the wheel bearing things were fine for a few weeks then the noise has returned. It started by being pretty sporadic, but has since got worse and worse. It goes away under braking and when driving over 30mph. If I trail the brakes gently whilst moving along it also disappears.

The knock appears to be rotational and matches apparent wheel speed. There is nothing interfering with the spokes or tyre and I have re-tightened the brake caliper, carrier and wheel nuts.

I am going to be stripping the whole lot back this weekend, but I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions of what may be the cause or things to look out for.


Cheers,
Simon
