Squeaky steering?
« on: March 18, 2006, 16:27:24 »
Went laning on Salisbury plains at the weekend and ever since ive had a high pitch squeaky squealy noise coming from the front drivers side wheel every time i turn the steering wheel. Seems to be there all the time...but i cant here it over the engine at speed.

Is there something i need to grease or replace.....sounds very odd?

I dont have PAS .

regards

Ive got it too :( , the bloke at cheviot 4x4 had a look at another unrelated problem for me today and also discovered the drivers side (squeeky) wheel needs the bearing thingy tightening.........Basically there is slight movement when you push and pull the top of the wheel.
You may also have dirt in the pads.

I certainly am :D , tried to buy a DAISYCUTTER today, but they are waiting for the upgraded version at cheviot4x4. Got to wait for 2 weeks for delivery.

With regard to my SQUEEK, I only get it when turning LEFT.

Cheers Tony for the offer, I'm after one with holes across the front and also the sort that are made up of x3 parts for ease of getting access if required.
I dont fancy the rebel guard with rebel cut into it across the front...... I'm sure ive seen a request (wanted) post somewhere for a steering guard, its either on www.lrtech.co.uk www.slroc.co.uk or www.ncgl.org

mmmmm

had a close look at the break disk area but couldnt find anything blaringly obvious. The diff is slightly dented on the bottom right hand side :oops: (ill be buying a diff guard now then)... and the swivel is leaking a bit. Wheel bearings dont have any obvious play in them. and the steering ujs dont have any play in them either

I wonder if the swivel is low on the sticky stuff?  :roll:
