Riddle me this. 151, 000 miles original turbo but I have a problem.

Hello Leggy lovers,

 

I am still rocking my 08 Leggy GT limited GSM. I am at 151, 000 miles still on the original turbo. So here is my issue, it is not turbo related at all.

 

I started to get a weird humming sound from the driver side, before you say it is a wheel bearing it is not. They have been checked, and even went as far as to replace the one I suspected being the issue. The noise is still there. The car was put on hoist with the suspension unloaded, and the noise occurs only above 40km/h. The only thing is maybe axle issue. Anyone run into something like this? Thanks in advance for any support.

 

Cheers

 

Max

You are a Stephen King reader. Blaine the Mono stated "Riddle me this" in book 3 of The Dark Tower Series-"The Wastelands"

 

Just MORE in useless trivial information.:)

Replace the axle if you think it's an issue, they are cheap and quick to replace by a good mechanic. Or at least buy one and have it on hand, drive the car longer until something happens.

 

Do not buy a new aftermarket axle, most of them have issues, a re-man axle is what you want if you go that route.

 

The best idea is to rebuild your axle, it's hard to beat a OEM axle.

Just for fun swap tires and wheels to a different axle and make sure the noise doesn't follow it.

No one ever said golfers were sane! Why would a sane person buy a LGT/s and the go fix it and fix it and...? ? ? ?

If my memory serves me correctly, don't you strap thin pieces of fiberglass to you feet and risk life and limb barreling down a mountain side.:lol:

Yep, 63 day's this past season, great fun ;)

 

I see your point about a sane person, I'm one of the crazy's that has paid for my 05' twice, remember I bought it new.

 

LOL

Well Max I applaud you, 63 days, impressive !! Never said I wasn't crazy either LOL and I've had my 05 since it was new but have only paid for it once, thank God otherwise I could afford to chase the little white ball, yes it's probably made me crazy.

 

OP let us know what happens.
