After reading the thread on the clunking noise associated with wire wheel
I decided to go and tighten them up. Presto the clunking sound had
gone... Thankyou all. However, I now have a different problem and am not
sure if it is related to tightening the wheels or not. My Midget now has a
very loud whining sound coming from the rear of the car when i take my foot of
the accelerator. I sounds very much like it is coming from the drivers
side rear wheel and the sound gets louder and softer as the wheel turns
(very noticable at low speeds) I am guessing either diff or the wheel
bearings. Does anybody know what it is? I have also looked at the
literature I have on Midgets at home and none cover replacing the wheel
bearings. Has anybody done this before, if so can the average person
tackle it at home as I can feel my wallet opening in my pockets already!!!!
