Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / January 2006306 Drivers Size Squeak at 30mph up
Afternoon, Subject says it all really. This morning I jacked up the passenger side of my car to get a look at something, and later that morning I find what I can only assume to be the drivers side front wheel is squeaking at 30mph upward. It doesn't seem to be affecting driving and with music on I won't hear it, but I suppose there must be an explanation. Any ideas or anywhere obvious I can spray WD40 or oil? Cheers, Tom. > Afternoon, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > I won't hear it, but I suppose there must be an explanation. Any ideas > or anywhere obvious I can spray WD40 or oil? What do you mean by squeaking? Is it constant? Only over bumps? When you corner?

No relationship to the engine that I can find - any gear, no gear, clutch disengaged, its still there. Any surface, bumps, no bumps, still there. What kind of damage could I have done jacking up one side of the vehicle though? I didn't even lift it as far as I would had I been changing a tyre. I'll be doing my 45 mile commute in the morning and don't want to risk making anything worse, but this really does just sound like a squeaky wheel. Very similar to the noise a slipping belt makes too, but the fact that the engine isn't making the noise probably rules that out? What do you reckon? Cheers, Tom. > Its constant above that speed.

You'd expect a difference if it was a wheel bearing. Any difference while braking? John >>Its constant above that speed.

I'll have to test that tommorrow. > Any difference while braking? No, only that it stops when the speed drops below 30.

As far as i'm concerned I used the front left jacking point. I wanted to lift the front of the vehicle but I have no idea where it would have been safe to put the jack without potentially poking a hole in the bottom of my car.

In that case it shouldn't have been that.

In that case it shouldn't have been that. Out of curiousity, are there points at the front below the engine bay that are "jackable"? I vividly remember somebody jacking up my old Fiesta from front and centre before propping it on two Axel stands (also can't work out where these best go - how do DIYers learn this stuff?) > Out of curiousity, are there points at the front below the engine bay > that are "jackable"?

Anything *solid*. Subframe mounting points, suspension mounting points, that sort of thing. Not anything that looks like it's sheet steel. > >>Afternoon, > >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > find - any gear, no gear, clutch disengaged, its still there.

I had a noise which started at about 35 mph, and it turned out to be a piece of plastic trim that was loose, playing a note in the wind. The tell-tale sign was the change of note (and onset speed road speed) when a decent headwind was present.

Doesn't seem to change, so i'm still stumped.. >> Does the tone change as speed increases? >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Doesn't seem to change, so i'm still stumped.. Could you have inadvertently caught the mudflap and moved/loosened it. I traced a noise on my 406 to that on a couple of occasions. It had a metal reinforcing strip that got bent.

SignatureBudgie NB Reply to newsgroup. Email address will get you nowhere. >>Afternoon, >> >>Subject says it all really. > > As heading. Maybe it's the driver's size. After some 20 posts in this thread it still took someone pointing it out for me to notice. Everybody gains a little weight at Christmas ;) |
