All the nuts etc etc were done on my last service and it was still there when I drove it out the garage matt. Think I've exhausted all possibilities now, if you'll excuse the punn :D
|
i would say its a wheel bearing!
|
If it is a wheel bearing, how much would that cost to fix?
|
can you damage the wheel bearing as a result of lowereing a saxo?
|
Yeah you can... If the car is lowered then it changes the angle of the drive shaft, usually at the bearing, so that sounds like a good idea to change the bearing. If you have bigger than 16" alloy's then you will find the bearings are under alot more strain than they where made for. Hope that helped.
|
O... bearings shouldnt cost much. If you go to quick fit, you could blag it for £40 or £50, thats with labor and parts. Lofty
|
The squeak started less then 3 weeks after i go the car lowered. Could the bearing go that fast? My car only has 12,000 miles on it i would of thought the bearing would of lasted longer then that TBH. plus I have the standard wheels on. You never no tho. cheers for the help.
|
i have the same problem mine was fine until i had it lowered its getting worse the noise starting to piss me off .
|
Right my sax is bleeding squeeking too!!
Although i'm pretty sure it's coming from the clutch. It Only creaks & squeeks when im pulling off or driving really slow and does seem worse when i'm bringing the clutch up in the low gears It's really really annoying though and everyone stares! Someone said it could be the clutch release bearing? I Really wish i knew more about car mechanics, i can see me getting shafted by my local garage as they seem to know when you've not got a fucking clue what they are explaining!. I love my car but this noise makes me want to beat it to death with a hammer :o( |
I had a squeak from the front wheels after lowering my car but it was because the brake disc retaining bolt wasn't screwed in properly, and the disc was wobbling pushing the calliper about
|
Looks like it's a trip to quick fit sometime this week then, see if the bearings need replacing.
|
Got my squeak fixed today. It was the power steering pump.
|
Mines doing this.. what part of the pump was broke?
