ad500 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I know these noises are almost impossible to detect but this one comes only when you do certain things. Under 50mph if i let my foot off the accelarator the rear nearside wheel area squeeks. If i reapply load the noise stops. Applying brakes can reduce the squeek abit further, and if under 20mph will usually stop completely or become more of a groaning noise. The nosie seems related to wheel travel and can be eliminated by keeping the accelarator down, freewheeling just makes it squeek. Handbrake shoes have been checked, pads are new. Anyone have anything similar happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_y3k Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 i got to ask .. what the heck is a 'chassis ear' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Originally posted by paul_y3k i got to ask .. what the heck is a 'chassis ear' Its an electronic listening device , i borrowed Terry S's 4 channel ones (normally we use them to listen for DET in an engine ) teryy uses them to listen to the fine sizzling in his burgers !!!!, ive bought some with 6 channels , meaning i can listen electronically to 6 points where we think the noise is coming from , if say No5 is loudest we move the other probes near that one and see which is loudest , this should lead us to the squeak or cheeseburger !!!!

ad500 Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 The chassis ear was the next test to do on the list. I was hoping to have the parts ready so i could just put them on if anyone had experienced a similar problem. Oh well Thanks anyway guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 No luck on sorting this on Tuesday then? Hope the burger detector sorts it for ya. good to meet both you and Seb by the way.

Need4Speed Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 ad500 - I would start by stripping and cleaning the calipers. Use a little copper grease on the pad to caliper contacts. It is possible that the pads are dragging slightly on the disc and so squeaking when the brakes are released - I've had this happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad500 Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 Thanks for the suggestion John, ill give that a go, i bought the refirb kit today as some of the rubbers looked a little worn. £45 for about 6 bits of rubber!!!!!!
