The car has been growling a little bit the last couple of days, sort of rhythmic, slow frequency, can feel it through the floor and it happens mainly when the power is off and stops when the brakes are applied.
Many of you will have spotted what it is already but, I thought I'd eliminate everything simple first so I was doing the brake pads and checked the front left wheel for play and it wobbled a fair bit, finally got the cone washers to release and here's what I found underneath:
It's a little hard to see in that pic but the flats of the 54mm nut are awfully sharp and jagged because
That has been flapping around. The edge of the bearing housing was the first thing out, before I can even get the nut off. I don't think this is going to be pretty.
