Rolec Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 Have just noticed a new sound since have new shocks and springs fitted. When the car is on lock (nearly full) - at slow speed, i.e. reversing - you get a strange creek/squeek from the passenger side front - we've had the wheel off - there is no play anywhere - it only happens at very slow speed. Is it to do with the Bushes ?? - is it a sign of something wearing - Leon had a good look round when he did the job and certainly didn't spot anything, and i'm sure its been ok for the last 2 weeks, only starting yesterday....

Rich J Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 Is there any chance it could be rubbing against the inner arch material at full lock, after springs have "settled" they sometimes end up ma little lower then when first fitted. Look for any wear marks. If not it could be a noisey power steering system, but that would usually happen forward or reverse and even at full lock standing still.

Rolec Posted May 10, 2001 Author Share Posted May 10, 2001 Definately no rubbing - have now spoken to Leon and am running down Saturday morning.. It does not make a noise when actually turning the steering wheel - only when moving the car v.slowly on lock, i.e. turned the wheel first while stationary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich J Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 Visual inspection by Leon is probably the best way to go with those ruled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Wall Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 Please keep me posted, as I have the same noise at very slow speeds and at almost full lock. Not very loud Usually on the way out of the garage or a parkng space or turning out of my drive into the narrow lane out side. Can't see anything and every thing is solid at high speeds. Would love to know what it is and if it is going to be expensive to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolec Posted May 14, 2001 Author Share Posted May 14, 2001 Took the car to Leon on Saturday - what a lovely opportunity to bang it down the M1 at 130+ from Milton Keynes to Bushey. Dont you love upsetting people in little cars - TT Coupe, Alfa 156, Alfa Spider, Honda Integra - nothing to meaty but good fun :biggrin: Didn't cure the creek though - took the wheel off - couldnt find anything untoward - believe it probably to new Eibach Springs and Bilstein shocks - the shocks are not the Toyota Bilstein, but are Bilsteins own ?? with an adjuster that turns depending on speed...

Flavio Posted May 28, 2001 Share Posted May 28, 2001 Hi Dean, I am just guessing as I don't know if the Supra steering system has these, but on my previous car (a Volvo C70) I had this exact same problem. It turned out to be the bump stops that prevented the wheel from turning further once you are at full lock. They just needed some extra grease and the squeek was over. Hope this helps.

Kaan W Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Have you tried tightening the wheel nuts properly? I had this with my car and it turns out I forgot to tighten one of the wheels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) you forgot to tighten the wheel nuts on one of your wheels Both front wheels actually, well saying that it wasnt me it was when I got my car sprayed I had to take the back wheels off, so my dad loosened all the wheels (which I didnt know). After putting all back together again and driving around I noticed this strange knocking sound and my dad said ahh thats probably the front wheels I loosened lol. Thanks for telling me....
