    Default Sqeaky Sqeaky!

    So, when i turn either left or right i get a really annoying sqeak sound from the wheels.

    I know its not the brakes cause i just had them done,

    Ideas?

    Could be a really bad wheel alignment... I suggest getting it checked it out asap before your tyres wear out.

    possible wheel bearing, i know that my ute made a shocking squeak noise every time i turned when the wheel bearing was gone. easy way to check is jack it up put your hands at 12 and 6 oclock positions on the wheel and push pull the wheel if there is movement then your wheel bearing is probably gone.

    Unlikely to be a wheel bearing, they make a noise similar to being on a plane. I'd say check power steering fluid or brakes

    Cheap ass brakes will still squeal like a cat from new.
    Sounds a bit like a chick, copping it in the wrong (blank)

    The reason brakes squeal is because the pad is vibrating, my father in- lore worked at bindex brakes for about 20 years so I think he would know. That's also why you get a lot of cars now with the thin bits of flat spring steel on the pad this is to absorb the vibration from the brakes pad to stop the squealing sound.
    And the other guys are right new pads can squeal to my brand new VE SSV Series 2 Squealed as I stopped before driving it out of the dealer.
    One other tip if it's your wheel bearings you will hear a noise all the time when driving, or if it's not that far gone you may only get a slight vibration which starts at about 80ks
    If you only hear it when you brake it's going to be the pads.
    Could also be a stone stuck between your pad and disk check your disk for a mark or grove if there is a deep grove in the disk the stone could be still there.

    The sound stops when I brake, so probably the pads?

    Im running 4000 series slotted and bendix ultimates, only had them for 150kms.
    Maybe ill run them in little more...

    Well they've had some pretty hard braking already, but all good things need time
