Squeaky Back Wheel

[neilhewett]

Hi everyone!

Just a quick question:

When I turn right at a roundabout sometimes I hear a squeak from one of the back wheels. This also happens (again only sometimes) when I'm moving very slow, usually when arriving home and going slowly down the drive. Its not bothering me that much but I just thought id put it out there.

Thank you

Sounds like an odd one. Does it have disc or drum brakes at the rear? Could be a little seized on that side causing a squeak. Or perhaps a bush being that it's more noticed going round corners when the weight of the car is shifting.

Hello,

Yes it's weird, I have discs all round.

Might be worth just checking the tread left on both sides of the rear pads that way you can see if they are wearing un evenly. If they are it's a good chance they are sticking.

Ok thanks ill check it out.

Slam the brakes on a few times that usually clears any brake squeaks but sounds like a knackered bush to me

Had to slam the braked on the other day when I saw a massive pot hole at the last second. Hasn't squeaked since then!

Glad to hear it's all sorted what ever was squeaking has been loosened off.
