waynos 0 Posted October 4, 2011 Car has developed a seriously annoying noise. I could be driving along at 20 mph and i hear a really low squeek. Its definitaly something rotating. It gets worse after time and when im doing about 10 mph its quite loud. Can only describe the sound as rubber on metal. If i stop and then pull off really slowly it kinda sounds like a clicking noise then its back to the rubbery squeek noise. It doesnt affect the way the car drives and i can be in or out of gear, on or off the brakes. It comes and goes as it pleases. Any ideas? I think the noise is on the passenger side Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted October 4, 2011 Front or back wheel do you think? Maybe take each wheel off and investigate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beastie4126 0 Posted October 5, 2011 rubbery squeek noise. S & M mouse wedged in radiator ?? Have you checked for stones etc wedged in tyres, drive shaft gaiters splits or even brake hoses rubbing on tyres Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waynos 0 Posted October 5, 2011 my car doesnt appear to have the disc brake sheilds! brake pads and discs were done at the begining of the year. brake lines are well out the way. It only makes the noise when moving. Going to have another check at the weekend when i got some decent light to work under Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
