Hey guys im pretty sure this is a wheel bearing prob but to make sure i want some more opinions.

Ok so recently (month or two) my car started to make knocking and rubbing sounds whenever I applied the brakes at very low speeds (20-0km/h). Also people following me can apparently see the wheel wobble when I corner quick although I dont feel anything different.

I got my mechanic to check it out and he said there was some horizontal movement on the wheel (like one mm) he said it was probably wheel bearing.

I want to get it fixed soon as the sound is getting louder and louder so i was wondering if i should go OEM or aftermarket and where should i look to find aftermarket wheel bearings for DC5R?

thanks guys,
Alex

check the suspension itself - there maybe loose bolts or nuts associated with the strut- if it was loose it would knock and give variable steering input too etc.
