hello everybody,



got another question for all you people that know alot more than me



I 've got these sqeaking noise thats been getting worse and worse, it sounds like its coming from the tyres but cant pick whether back or front or which particular one!



if it is wheel bearings is it worth changing all 4 or just infected one? if it is just one how can i discover which one in order save$$$$$ (even though i dont mind spending if its for the beast ) save when im at the mechanics so he does not have to check every one.



The nosie many comes when conering slightly or low speeds, it gotton a little bit louder of last month.

Any other ideas of what it might be? or my best options?



Thanks for any help!!!

Check your floor pans for minor cracks. look under the carpet between the floor pan and firewall.
These make noise that appear to come from underneath especially when cornering.

This is probably the cause of your noise if thier is no rel evident signs underneath.

sometimes you get crap caught in brakes assembly which can be annoying, try checking that. It could just be a small stone, stick or clump of baked mud, maybe even brake ventilator bent a bit and rubbing

just a thought

is it ok to drive with wheel bearings in this condition?

Most likely to be brake pads down to their "tell tails". This noise usually starts intermittently, gets worse as time goes on, and is louder when going around corners.

I've had a hub seal squeak before.
No noise when leaving home and a few k's down the road
squeak, squeak.fliped caliper up and dribbled some oil
down to seal(dont get it on brakes)and its gone.
If you touch brakes does the noise change??
If yes..... Brake's.
If no... I would check elsewere.
Get a mate to sit in back and hang(safely)out window to try and pin point
the offending wheel.
Best way is to pull a wheel off and check bearing noise/play.

Cheers Ian.
