Car Forum / Alfa Romeo Cars / February 2006Another 147 observation - this time tyres.....
Had a low frequency knocking noise at 20/30mph so expected the usual bushes/arm diagnosis from the dealer - turns out it was the pattern of wear on the rear tyres. New rears sorted the annoying problem! (2mm tread left so needed them anyway) > Had a low frequency knocking noise at 20/30mph so expected the usual > bushes/arm diagnosis from the dealer - turns out it was the pattern of > wear > on the rear tyres.

New rears sorted the annoying problem! (2mm tread left so > needed them anyway) So what caused that then? Slammin the anchors on and squaring off the tyre? >> Had a low frequency knocking noise at 20/30mph so expected the usual >> bushes/arm diagnosis from the dealer - turns out it was the pattern [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > So what caused that then?

Nope - it's hard to explain but all the tread blocks had a triangular profile rather than wearing evenly, and I guess the noise was a resonance effect. |
