Title: Squeak
Post by: Pete on September 11, 2007, 13:06:11 PM

I got a squeak when I turn left when Im going fast, its coming from the front wheel and its slowly getting worse. Ive jacked it up and the wheel doesnt wobble and the brake clips are all there, I cant see any stones stuck in it so Im wondering if its the suspension.

Any ideas?

More likely a mouse...

Or something rubbing as it goes around the corner, could be virtually anything that can touch a moving part.

Catch sight of the blighter and then a shotgun to the head.

Alternatively take off and nuke it from orbit, its the only way to be sure... ;)

Put some nuts on the axle, then go for a run, if the nuts have gone its a squirrel :lol:
I dont think squirrels like peppermint, so put some peppermint oil in your petrol tank, the fumes will keep the squirrels away :rofl:

Sure its not power steering related? Loose/knackered belt or something?

How is that even related to Squirrel? Ive been googling this phenomena and its clear to me now that my only hope is some bloke called Ben.

/It only makes the noise when the car is moving and I turn sharply so I dont think its a belt or the steering thingy.
