LiamGTR Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Driving to my mates house about 5-10 minutes ago i've just noticed what sounds like a quiet squeak/spinning coming from the front right of the car, it's constantly there UNTIL I press the break, then nothing, then when i release the break....squeak squeak squeak... Any suggestions? Please don't tell me it's`expensive! I want my kid sprayed next week or there abouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeWee Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Maybe the front wheel bearing need greasing? possibly replacing?Neither expensive if its just that.Have you fitted new pads recently, could it be them binding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamGTR Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 If it continue's, for a couple of quid there is no harm in replacing that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamGTR Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Ok so now the squeak has turned into a LOUD squeak, and i've narrowed it down to 3 times it does it: It only happens when:I turn right (even just a bit)I let off the accelerator It goes away if:I accelerateI brakeI turn left ??????????????? I was HOPING i could get my kit sprayed next week but looks like i know wher emy money is going now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawdreamer Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 sounds like a cv joint or bearing on its way out tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamGTR Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Well as said above bearing isn't expensive? but CV joint....expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawdreamer Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Well as said above bearing isn't expensive? but CV joint....expensive? neither are expensive dependant on method(I had a new cv and bearing of a accident damaged well serviced motor in the scrappers)....just a pain in the arse to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamGTR Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 This car has only JUST had it's MOT before I bought it (11th), surely the wishbone that i changed and this CV joint are MOT failures? (Ask Carl how bad the Wishbone was! lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
