Afternoon all! 

Had some new tyres fitted today, and as the chap was torqing the bolts we said there was "forward movement" with the wheel. 

Am I right in thinking this is the strut top bearing? 

There's no noticable noise (that I can hear over the knackered rear axle!) And no noticable handling issues. 


Any pointers would be great! 

Cheers all

It'll probably be worn/old P bushes on the lower arms, they allow this movement.

Totally normal if they're a bit old, in fact the wheels will still move a little even with new lower arms.

Failing strut tops are noisy/grinding/pinging when turning lock to lock.
Brilliant thanks for the tip. It's done 153k so I wouldn't be surprised!

Is this something that will need addressing asap or can it wait dor the winter rebuild I have planned?
