2006 V8 Vantage 6-Speed, with under 27,000miles. Coming back from getting lowering springs added, I noticed a rotational type whirring/thudding sound from the rear passenger side wheel. It happens anytime the wheels are rotating (acceleration, deceleration and reversing) Got the car up in the air and I could not get that sound to repeat. Looked under the body for anything that might be hitting, or a nail, stone stuck in the tread of my tire. Nothing. Doing some research it might be my CV joint or wheel bearings. When I was turning the car on the road I could hear a metal squealing from the area, which made me to believe it was my bearings going out.

Any advice? I also am brand new to the Seattle area, if anyone knows a AM indie or a good British indie I would appreciate it!

Cheers

 

Check the gaps between the backing plate and inner rotor, thin aluminum bends easily and can change contact points when driving. But not on a lift. Only a few mm of distance clearance to begin with.

Myself. If it didnt do it prior to the fitting of your lowering springs I would take it back. It sounds like its something they have done to me.
