I previously posted about a chirp in the front. It improved after the brakes were lubricated but now it is coming back. I have kind of narrowed it down to being when I am turning right with no pressure on the brakes (i.e. not braking at all), usually after the car has been driven a bit.

It is a high pitched noise, reminds me of the squeaks you would hear when your school bus went over a bump but when turning it is a bit more constant.

Any ideas? I will take it in next week to have it checked but I thought someone might have come across it.

 

Sounds to me (no pun intended honest guv!) like a tyre rubbing on the plastic wheel arch liner.
Sometimes the liner "bulges" in one or two places and needs to be pushed back.
Is it coming from the left or right side?
Whichever side it is, whip that wheel off and inspect the liner with a torch and you might see a rub mark or two.

 

Driver's side! I'll try that, thanks.

 

Torx screw that holds the brake shield in place coming unscrewed?

 

I've got ''the Jaguar chirp'' going over bumps... Had it since DAY ONE! No clue, brakes... hubs... suspension... checked everything in the wheel well and it's all tight... I gave up.

 

Pics requested recently, nothing to do with squeaky wheel.

 

Thanks Bruce , nice and clean side line , thanks

 

I was thinking about having the A pillars on my vert wrapped in black. Still undecided, but that looks really good Bruce.

 

Think Bruce this needs a separate thread, anyone else done the pillars

 

OK, had the car into the tyre place, they've checked everything, dismantled the calipers and greased the pads. Sure enough I got the car home and as I turned it was squeaking away. Could it be a bearing?

 

Did they check the Torx bolts on the brake shield? Though that would be more a scraping than a squeak as it destroys the back of your disc.

 

I'll check but I would have thought so as they pulled them apart.

 

The guys who did my mods think it sounds like a bearing is going which is making something contact the rotor. He did explain it but most went over my head. I'll get it checked next week.
