An ominous noise

[Chrisleadfootbooth]

So I recently drove the car without playing deathmetal deafeningly loud and there is a weird groaning creaking coming from o/s somewhere. .. anyone hace any ideas. If rocked the car about and I cant replicate the noise

 

[Shamalam]

any play in the rack when you jack the car up? ie shaking the wheel for play

could be just a wheel bearing has gone, had the same thing on my first micra

 

[Chrisleadfootbooth]

Its not a wheel bearing.. I looked odd driving along listening to the seat belt but theres no noise from bearings... I'll have a look at the rack tonight tho cheers

 

[Shamalam]

Mines knocking on full lock, just had a track rod end changed too... fixed for a few days and now it seems i've got a new issue. Good times. Anyway, hope you get it all sorted dude

Figured it out now... its my drivers side door.

I think its maybe sagging or something. Will have to look into replacement brackets/hinges

 

[Shamalam]

Ah well part one done at least, hope you get it sorted man

A length of wood (4x2 or similar) between the bottom of the door and the sill will allow you to lever the door back into position save some money!

It feels to me like the hinge is worn. . When the door is open I can move it up and down

 

[Chrisleadfootbooth]

Hinge is well worn ....local scrappy wont let me have the hinges without the door..which is fair enough I suppose

 

[Chrisleadfootbooth]

Fixed the noise not the problem..... turned the latch rounds and hit it a bit. Door doesn't move up or down on the hinge as it sits tight now. .. no more noise
