Hi,
I haven't posted on Finalgear in quite some time, but I could use some help.
My car is a 2001 Renault Megane 5-door.
Driving on the motorway today, 30 miles from home the rear of my car began to judder up and down, increasing at speed. Long story short, I took it slow from then and once home, my friend got out and observed that the rear left wheel isn't on quite right. It's kind of wobbly. Not loose, but it rotates somewhat eccentrically in driving. The car remains driveable, I noticed no change in handling, and I should be able to get it to a garage.
It's not a wheel problem - I swapped it out for the spare and the same thing happened. It judders up and down and makes a good deal of noise, but the bolts are nice and tight, and the rims/tyres aren't deformed in any way.
I took a set of photos which are included below, but I don't have an astonishingly good idea of what's to be noticed, if anything. I'm sure this is going to end up in a garage, but I wonder if you lovely folks can suggest where the issue is and what the likely fix will be, and if I can do anything (with the exception of using the car as little as possible for the time being)?
Thanks in advance, and thanks also later when I read things you have written, if indeed you have written things.
