Title: "ding ding" noise/sound on the left side of the car (Omega, 95')
Post by: supersaw on 05 March 2012, 17:12:50

Hey !
I have a strange noise on my car. It starts when I go ~40km/h. when I speed up the noise/sound speeds up too. What could it be ? Mainshaft ? Bearings ?
This noise started when I changed my tyres :/ And the noise is located on the left side of the car.

Where the tyres changed to new tyres? ...or used summer tyres? Because it sounds like something is hitting the bottom of the spring cup on the shock absorber. Either a foreign object in the tyre, or a cord stocking out of the tyre.

mmm I changed to used M/S tyres. One tyre has a old inside repair loop.

I'd inspect the tyres inside edge and sidewall urgently around the entire circumference.
