Nocking 172 OSF Wheel

[Davejester]

hi, just got a 172 and its nocking from the front off side wheel. It speeds up and slows down as the car does, almost like its got a flat tyre. It dissappears if I turn left?!?! the car has just been and had new springs meby something was not put back correctly. Now its going to the garage tha morra or wednesday to identify the problem and get sorted, just so I dont sound like a doughnut does anyone want to take a guess>?

Regards

Driveshaft is my guess.

Have you had a look at the wheel arch nothing rubbing/hanging off.
If everything is ok there could be drive shaft, ball joints not done up propperly
spring not in its seat properly.
But if you dont feel confident identifying problem yourself
and sending it to garage just let them identify the problem and get it sorted
problem is it could be one of manythings.
Without seeing its hard to tell
