I have a problem with my gti, its whenever i start to turn the steering wheel right when driving i get a droning noise and it sounds like its coming form the n/s front wheel. I've had a brief look underneath and around the wheel and i cant really see anything that is causing it, apart from the drop links are totally shot, but both sides are like this so didn't think this was the cause. There is no sign of any rubbing that i can see either, anyone have any ideas? Thanks

you need a press, circlip pliers, and a 35mm hub nut socket as well as a normal toolkit.

do you think it would be easier to get a replacement hub? I have been looking and they are 16 or 18mm, which would mine be? Its a 1999 V.

most likely 18mm, most used hubs have knackered bearings, I'd just fit a new bearing.

not long at all, if you can get the hub off yourself and take just that maybe a tenner.


plus cost of bearing of course.
