    I'm hearing a thud thud thud noise which sounds like it's coming from
    the rear drivers side wheel. It's a 2003 Honda Civic hatchback. Noise
    increases in frequency with speed but dissappears as you speed up
    towards 30mph. The tyre on that wheel was replaced recently due to a
    pot hole puncturing the side wall of the last tyre. It did take quite
    a knock when it went through the pot hole but everything looked ok
    when I took the wheel off. Car seemed to struggle slightly when
    pulling away this morning, like the handbrake was on.

    I'll check the wheel nuts tonight but apart from that what should I be
    looking for? Damaged disc or hub, siezed brakes?

    Any suggestions welcome

  2. A friend of mine had a sound from one corner of the car. Turned out
    that when he had the tires replaced, the idiot left a screwdriver inside
    that one.
