Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello, I have a squeaking noise coming from the rear left wheel. It is on a rotation and at really slow speeds it seems to be more of a grinding noise. At high speeds it seems to be a nocking noise. The squeak seems to go away when wet or if I am turning right. I have taken the wheel off, taken the caliper off, checked the pads, cleaned eveything yet still it squeaks.

POST 2Original post

A creaking noise at low speed often points to the lower control arm ball joint - it happens as you go over bumps. (Quite common). If it is a grinding noise that happens in time with the wheel rotation, it might be a wheel bearing, or a drive shaft joint. (Quite rare).

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for that. I was thinking bearing but its just that the grinding goes away at high speeds and is replaced by a squeak. I am taking it to PARR on Thursday so hopefully it is nothing too expensive.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I noticed yesterday a lot more brake dust around the wheel in question. Could the disc be warped. It is the rear disc though?

POST 5Original post

Hi mate, (hope you recovered after the Candy run) It could be that you have a stone between your pad and disk causing the wear and grinding noise. Is the disk scored?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Mate Checked that, took the caliper off, too the disk off, cleaned everything and put back together again. There are no marks on the disc, but after finding all the dust I think it must be something to do with a pad rubbing. Probably did it on the Candy Run. lol Are you going to the Fast Fest at Santa pod on Sunday. Free tickets with the Candy Run and you get to go down the strip for free. The Candy Girls are going to be ther as well. I think the meet is at the Dome again early Sunday morning.

POST 7Original post

Can't I'm off to a friends stag this weekend. [8D] If you're interested I've heard that some of the Candy run girls will be at the Ace tonight [ ] (not sure if I can make that either)[:-] Sanjib and Kish will likely be there..u going? (a bit far for you I know)

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was going to but that squeaking noise is quite embarrassing. Taking it to Parr tomorrow so should be fixed by the weekend.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Found out what the problem was - My wheels were actually falling apart. I have split rims on it and they had been refurb'd but just not been put together very well. The noise was them coming apart. Considering I was racing a C4S on Sunday and reaching speeds upto 140 I guess I am kind of lucky.

POST 10Original post

lol....good result.....I see you're keeping your driving speeds down these days!
