Default Wounded my Prelude?

Hi,

Had a great track day at Castle Coombe but on last couple of laps on the last session all of a sudden I started getting a wicked vibration from the front left wheel (as you'd see it from the driving position). It does it when under load in the right handed corners (so at Coombe that's most of them) and all is fine in a straight line and even under braking. Eased off a drove home ok but didn't like roundabouts much (clockwise in the UK).

I've been getting some ocassional knocking there since I changed the bent lower arm for a straight one - everything looked tight and there was no play. It was fully tracked and balanced after this and prior to the event.

Could be a bush (could get new ones in time so re-used the old ones above) or a wheel bearing? If you pull at the wheel there is some play now but not much.

I don't think I've thrown a balance weight as it would be vibrating all the time.

Any advice apprieciated.

Cheers,

Hatch
