Noise On Wheel

[Lia TOC]

Morning all,

I discovered a noise on the left whell/area. Its a kinda squeeking noise, ive checked everything, stones, breaks, turning etc. My dad says he gets it sometimes on his T-Sport, any idea what it is?

erm wheel bearing? dunno its hard to say not knowing the exact noise.

If your not sure, and your Dads not sure..... take it to a garage who'll be able to help better than us lot can!

Chris is right - its hard to diagnose when you cant see it or hear it!

LOL i think i should do one of me to scare my boss off :P well theres a few on TOC allready :P (thanks gordy )

theres not alot of things it could be, worn suspention joints (if squeeking is when the car goes up & down) f***** shock absorber, maybe track rod end. or it could be like you say, stone lodged somewhere rubbing on disk. squeeky brakes, wheel bearing or at a long shot driveshaft (prolly not though).

what kind of noise is it, when does it do it? when you go over bumps, all the time or when steering? also how many miles has the car done?

When does it occur? If it only occurs on full lock it is just the power steering pump and is normal.

[earpl]

thats not a squeek though robbie, thats just the pressure relief valve dumping back into the resoviour(spelling) sounds like a quiet dump valve :P

[Robie]

I disagree... it sounds not unlike metalic scraping.

I would say wheel bearing - quite common problem

Does it happen when you steer hard one way or the other ?

Does it only happen when its in gear? Try going downhill taking it out of gear and letting it roll for as long as possible - to see if it still does it
