Hi all, question number 2 :-) I`ve got an M reg Astra that has been making a noise from what seems like the front right side for a few months now. I took it in to a local garage and drove a mechanic round in it with me. We both agreed where the noise was coming from, but when they had a look in the garage they couldn`t be sure exactly where the noise was coming from - it could be either the bearing or the CV joint. They said to go away and keep driving it until the noise became more noticible. About 3000-4000 miles later the noise has started being more noticible. Around 25-40 mph there is a light grinding noise, and when turned left at speed (i.e. on motorway intersection slip roads, M6 to M62 for example) the noise becomes louder. The car is still handling fine, but the garage I normaly use isn`t answering their phone at the moment. Does this sound like the bearing or the CV joint? And roughly what would you expect to pay for this job to be done in a garage, and how long would it likely take? A lot of questions I know, but i`m looking for rough prices and times so I can figure out when to try and fit it into the schedule to be done. Thanks all for your help!
