The front driver's side (right hand drive car) wheel bearing was replaced today, and the rumbling is gone but I need to drive it more than 3 miles to be certain it's cured!


An/the idler arm bushing is indeed somewhat worn - there's a bit of play there, so I've order a bushing kit and will fit soon.

I also need two short heat-shielded power steering pipes to stop the PS fluid leak.. ordered as well.

And brakes.
